OPENING STORY

羽宮 一虎：おいマイキー！急に呼び出してなんだよ

Kazutora: Hey Mikey! What’s up with this sudden call?

佐野 万次郎：おせぇよ一虎～オレが呼んだら5分で来いよ

Mikey: You’re laaate Kazutora～ When I call you, you gotta show up in five minutes.

羽宮 一虎：無茶言うなよー

Kazutora: Don’t be ridiculous. 

河田 ナホヤ：一虎も来たしこれで全員か？

Smiley: Since Kazutora is here, is this everyone?

羽宮 一虎：おれ？そうなん？珍しいメンツだな…

Kazutora: Eh? Wait, what? This is a weird group…

羽宮 一虎：ドラケンとか他のヤツらは？

Kazutora: What ‘bout Draken and the others?

佐野 万次郎：....今回はオマエらにしか頼めねぇことなんだ

Mikey: I can only count on you guys this time…

武藤 泰宏：なんだどうした

Muto: What’s wrong?

河田 ソウヤ：オレら力になるよ！

Angry: We can help!

佐野 万次郎：これなんだけど....

Mikey: The thing is…

河田 ナホヤ：ん？これいつものゲーセンにある格ゲーじゃん

Smiley: Mh? Isn’t this the usual arcade with fighting games?

羽宮 一虎：これがどうかしたのかよ？

Kazutora: So what’s the deal with this?

佐野 万次郎：これでこの間ケンチンたちにボコボコにされたんだよ…！

Mikey: The other day Kenchin and the crew totally beat me to a pulp…!

羽宮 一虎：…は？

Kazutora: …Huh?

佐野 万次郎：次戦う時にぜってぇ全員ボコボコにしてやりてぇ

Mikey: So next time we fight, I gotta be the one to take them down.

佐野 万次郎：ってことで！オレの秘密の特訓に付き合え！！

Mikey: Yeah. Deadass.

羽宮 一虎：マイキー　このメンツでゲームの特訓やんの？できると思う？

Kazutora: Mikey, you gonna do game training with these guys? You think so?

三途 春千夜：おい、テメェ　マイキーが言うことに口答えすんじゃねぇよ

Sanzu: Hey, you bastard. Don’t talk like that to Mikey.

三途 春千夜：マイキーが特訓するって言ってんだから黙って付き会え

Sanzu: He said we’re training so shut up and join. 

羽宮 一虎：は？オマエ急に口出してきて何？喧嘩売ってんのか？

Kazutora: Hah? Why ya suddenly butting in? Ya tryna pick up a fight?

STORY AFTER EASY LEVEL

ーゲームセンター

–At the arcade– 

佐野 万次郎：なんかいつもと違くね？

Mikey: Doesn’t something look different from usual?

羽宮 一虎：確かにいつもより女の子が多いかも

Kazutora: For sure there’s more girls around. 

河田 ナホヤ：スゲェファンシーな飾り付けだな　これが理由か？

Smiley: That’s some fancy decoration… What’s the occasion?

河田 ソウヤ：「サンリオキャラクターズフェア実施中！」だって

Angry: ‘Cause the “Ongoing Sanrio Character Fair!”

武藤 泰宏：サンリオキャラクターズフェア？

Muto: Sanrio Character Fair?

三途 春千夜：フェア中はサンリオキャラクターの景品が取りやすくなってるみたいです

Sanzu: Looks like it’s easier to get Sanrio character’s prizes during the fair.

武藤 泰宏：…なるほど

Muto: I see…

羽宮 一虎：へ～他にも色々やってんだな

Kazutora: Wow～ There’s a lot of other stuff going on too.

佐野 万次郎：まぁ、オレたちには関係ないな　格ゲーのコーナー行こうぜ

Mikey: Well, it has nothing to do with us. Let’s go to the fighting games corner.

武藤 泰宏：そうだな

Muto: Sure.

河田 ソウヤ：ねぇマイキー

Angry: Hey, Mikey.

佐野 万次郎：どうした？アングリー

Mikey: What’s wrong, Angry?

河田 ソウヤ：格ゲーって1対1だよね？

Angry: Games are one-on-one, right?

河田 ソウヤ：プレイしてない間スマイリーとUFOキャッチャーのコーナー行っててもいい？

Angry: Is it okay if Smiley and I go to the claw machines corner while we don’t play?

佐野 万次郎：オッケー　その代わりオレが呼んだらすぐ来いよな～

Mikey: Okaay. In exchange, you’ll come immediately if I call you～

河田 ソウヤ：わかった！スマイリー！UFOキャッチャー行こ！

Angry: Got it! Smiley! Let’s go to the claw machines!

河田 ナホヤ：おう！

Smiley: Lets! 

・・・

河田 ソウヤ：兄ちゃん！頑張って！

Angry: Big bro! Good luck!

河田 ナホヤ：まかせとけ！

Smiley: Leave it to me!

ポロッ

Thud

河田 ナホヤ：うわっ落ちた　結構デケェから上手く行かねぇな　両替してくっか～

Smiley: Ohhh, it fell. They’re pretty big so it’s not working out. I’ll go for change～

河田 ソウヤ：うん…　…！ねぇ、兄ちゃんアイツら

Angry: Okay… …! Hey big bro, those two.

半間 修二：ほら、稀咲～♪　これやるよ

Hanma: Look, Kisaki～♪ I got this.

稀咲 鉄太：いらねぇよ

Kisaki: No thanks.

稀咲 鉄太：あ、おい！無理やり持たせようどするな！！

Kisaki: H-hey! Don’t force me to carry this!!

河田 ナホヤ：げ、半間と稀咲

Smiley: Ugh, Hanma and Kisaki. 

半間 修二：ん～？なんだぁ？だれかと思えば東卍の双子じゃねーか♡

Hanma: Mhhh～? What’s this? Now that I think about it, if it isn’t the Toman twins♡

河田 ナホヤ：ああ？テメェ何か用かよ？

Smiley: Hah? What the hell do ya want? 

半間 修二：後から来たのオマエらじゃん　おれらただ遊びに来ただけだぜ？

Hanma: Aren’t you the ones that arrived after us? We were just playing around?

半間 修二：なぁ？稀咲♡

Hanma: Riiight? Kisaki♡

稀咲 鉄太：オレはコイツに付き合うわされてるだけだ

Kisaki: I’m only tagging along. 

河田 ソウヤ：兄ちゃん、遊んでるだけならほっとこ

Angry: Big bro, if they’re only playing, let’s leave them alone.

河田 ナホヤ：…そうだな

Smiley: Right…

半間 修二：ところで…　オマエらそのぬいぐるみ取るのか？

Hanma: By the way… Are ya gonna catch that plushie?

河田 ナホヤ：あ～？テメェに関係ねぇだろうが

Smiley: Hah～? None of your business.

半間 修二：オレが手本を見せてやるよ♪

Hanma: I’ll show ya how it’s done♪

STORY AFTER MIDDLE LEVEL

半間 修二：ほらゲット♪

Hanma: Got it♪

河田 ナホヤ：悔しいけどコイツ上手ぇ・・・

Smiley: Hate to admit it, but you’re good…

河田 ソウヤ：そうだね・・・

Angry: Yeah…

稀咲 鉄太：半間、もう遊びは終わりでいいか？

Kisaki: Hanma, are you done playing?

半間 修二：稀咲～　コイツらに格の違いを見せてつけてやったのにそのいう草かよ

Hanma: Kisaki～ I proved we’re ahead of them, but now they’ve got the guts to talk like that.

稀咲 鉄太：クレーンゲームで格の違いを見せてつけてなんの意味がある

Kisaki: What’s the point of showing off who is the best at claw machines?

半間 修二：う～ん、なんも意味ねーかも

Hanma: Mhhhh～ You might be right.

稀咲 鉄太：だろうな

Kisaki: See?

佐野 万次郎：おい、オマエら何スマイリー達に絡んでんだよ

Mikey: Hey, why you giving Smiley and Angry a hard time?

半間 修二：げ～面倒なやつが来ちゃった

Hanma: Eehh～ And the pain in the ass shows up. 

三途 春千夜：は？テメェマイキーにそんな口聞いてんじゃねぇ

Sanzu: Hah? Don’t talk to Mikey like that, asshole.

半間 修二：こいつら相手にするのダリィ　稀咲～あっち行こうぜ

Hanma: Dealing with you guys is such a drag. Kisaki～ Let’s go there.

稀咲 鉄太：オレはそろそろ帰りたいんだが…

Kisaki: I just wanna go home…

半間 修二：まだ遊ぼ～ぜ♡稀咲

Hanma: Let’s still plaaay～♡ Kisaki

稀咲 鉄太：…チッいい加減にしろ

Kisaki: Tch… I’ve had enough. 

羽宮 一虎：アイツらなんだったんだ？

Kazutora: What was all about?

河田 ナホヤ：半間がいうには遊んでるだけらしいけど

Smiley: Hanma said they’re just playing.

羽宮 一虎：ふ～ん　そういえばぬいぐるみは？とれた？

Kazutora: Mhhh～ What about the plushie? Ya got it?

河田 ソウヤ：まだだよ　でも半間の取った方法真以すれば取れる気がする

Angry: Not yet. But if I try Hanma’s method I might be able to get it. 

佐野 万次郎：へー　アイツらそんなすごかったんだ

Mikey: Eeeeh. Was he that good?

河田 ソウヤ：うん、ちょっと半間のテクニック使って取ってみるからさ、みててよ！マイキー

Angry: Yeah, I’m gonna use Hanma’s technique and get it, just watch, Mikey!

・・・

佐野 万次郎：スゲェな…アングリー　めっちゃ簡単にぬいぐるみ取るじゃん

Mikey: Amazing, Angry… You got them so easily.

武藤 泰宏：これは…すごい量だな…

Muto: Those are… a lot…

河田 ソウヤ：すごい簡単に取れるようになって楽しくなっちゃって…

Angry: It’s extremely easy to get them and even more exciting…

武藤 泰宏：おい、この量どうするんだ

Muto: Hey, what are you gonna do with all that?

河田 ソウヤ：みんな一個ずつ持ってってよ　仲良くしてあげて！

Angry: Everyone get one! Please be friendly with them!

佐野 万次郎：とりあえずこのキキララっていうのはスマイリーとアングリーが持っとけよ

Mikey: For now, Smiley and Angry should take Kiki and Lala. 

佐野 万次郎：双子らしいしピッタリだろ

Mikey: They look like twins, so it fits. 

羽宮 一虎：じゃあおれクロミにしよ

Kazutora: Then I’ll get Kuromi.

羽宮 一虎：オレがクロミならマイキーマイメロディだよな！

Kazutora: If I have Kuromi, Mikey needs My melody!

佐野 万次郎：あんでもいいよ　エマにやるし

Mikey: That’s fine with me. I’ll give it to Emma.

武藤 泰宏：じゃあオレらはこの２つか　どっちがいいとかあるか？三途

Muto: Then we get these two? Which one do you want, Sanzu?

三途 春千夜：オレはどっちでもいいです

Sanzu: I’m okay with either. 

武藤 泰宏：だよな　じゃあこっちのワィッシュミーメル？ってやつ持ってけ

Muto: Alright. Then this Wish me mell? You’ll take it.

三途 春千夜：はい

Sanzu: Yes.

STORY AFTER ADVANCED LEVEL

羽宮 一虎：なぁ、マイキー　オレもUFOキャッチャーやりたくなってきちゃった

Kazutora: Hey, Mikey. I wanna give the crane machines a shot too.

羽宮 一虎：やりに行ってもいい？

Kazutora: Is it okay if I go?

佐野 万次郎：そうだな　特訓は一旦休憩にして一緒に回るか

Mikey: Sure. Why don’t we take a short break from training and go together?

武藤 泰宏：マイキー、特訓休憩ならオレと三途はあそこのベンチで休んでるぞ

Muto: Mikey, while you have a break Sanzu and I will go to that bench and rest.

佐野 万次郎：オッケー

Mikey: Okaay.

羽宮 一虎：あっち行こうぜ！マイキー！

Kazutora: Let’s go there! Mikey!

・・・

羽宮 一虎：じゃーん！見ろよマイキー！マイメロディとクロミのカチューシャとれた！

Kazutora: Ta-daaa! Look Mikey! I got My melody and Kuromi headbands!

佐野 万次郎：やるじゃん一虎　UFOキャッチャーうめーな

Mikey: Way to go, Kazutora. You’re good at crane machines.

羽宮 一虎：だろ？マイキーにマイメロディやるよ

Kazutora: Right? I’ll give you My melody one. 

羽宮 一虎：せっかく取ったし一緒に付けよーぜ

Kazutora: Now that I finally got it, let's wear them.

佐野 万次郎：え～

Mikey: Eeh～

羽宮 一虎：もったいないじゃん？ほら

Kazutora: Why are ya wasting time? Here.

スッ

Fwump

佐野 万次郎：…これ女がつけるやつだろ

Mikey: This is something a girl would wear…

羽宮 一虎：そんなことねぇよ　こういうのつけてると女の子にウケいいらしいし

Kazutora: That’s not true at all. Apparently girls dig it when you wear this kinda stuff. 

半間 修二：ん？マイキー　随分おもしれーカッコしてんじゃん

Hanma: Mh? Mikey. Don’t ya look extremely funny and cool. 

羽宮 一虎：あ、半間まだいたのかよ

Kazutora: Ah, Hanma you’re still here?

佐野 万次郎：稀咲はどうしたんだ？

Mikey: What about Kisaki?

半間 修二：あっちでUFOキャッチャー頑張ってるぜ

Hanma: He’s giving it his all with that claw machine. 

羽宮 一虎：オマエ上手いんだからついててやれよ

Kazutora: You’re great at it so go be at his side. 

半間 修二：オレから助言もらわねぇって　意地になってんの

Hanma: But he doesn’t wanna get advice from me. Isn’t he stubborn?

羽宮 一虎：ふ～んまぁどうでもいいや　マイキー特訓戻ろうぜ

Kazutora: Mhhh～ Well I don’t care. Mikey, let's go back to the special training.

佐野 万次郎：そうするか

Mikey: Let’s do that.

半間 修二：特訓～？ゲーセンでなんの特訓してんの？

Hanma: Special training～? What kinda training do you do at an arcade?

佐野 万次郎：格ゲー

Mikey: Fighting games.

半間 修二：へえ〜もしかしてマイキー弱ぇの？

Hanma: Heeeh～ Could it be that Mikey is weak?

佐野 万次郎：あ？弱くねーよ

Mikey: Hah? I ain’t weak. 

半間 修二：稀咲相手にしてみれば？

Hanma: Why don’t you try against Kisaki?

羽宮 一虎：は？どういうことだよ？

Kazutora: Hah? What do ya mean?

半間 修二：稀咲はあんま格ゲーとかやんなそうだし、いい練習相手になんじゃね？

Hanma: Kisaki barely plays fighting games and such, so he might be a good practice partner?

半間 修二：貸し１ってことで♪どう？

Hanma: You owe me one ♪ So? 

佐野 万次郎：いいぜ、素人に負けるかよ

Mikey: Fine by me, I ain’t gonna lose against an amateur. 

STORY AFTER EXTREME LEVEL

羽宮 一虎：おぉ～いい勝負

Kazutora: Oooh～ It’s a good match.

武藤 泰宏：今までで一番拮抗してるな

Muto: This is the most neck and neck I've ever seen until now. 

佐野 万次郎：よし！いける！！

Mikey: Yes! It’s going well!!

-YOU WIN-

佐野 万次郎：よっしゃあ！オレの勝ち！

Mikey: Hell yeah! This is my win!

河田 ソウヤ：おめでと！マイキー！

Angry: Congrats! Mikey!

稀咲 鉄太：……チッ

Kisaki: Tch…

半間 修二：残念だったな～♡稀咲

Hanma: That sucks～♡ Kisaki

稀咲 鉄太：おい、マイキー　この勝負は貸し１ってことでいいんだよな？

Kisaki: Hey, Mikey. I’m sure this match means I owe you one?

佐野 万次郎：いいよ練習になったし

Mikey: It was just some good practice.

稀咲 鉄太：…オレらは帰る　行くぞ、半間

Kisaki: We’ll be leaving... Let’s go, Hanma.

半間 修二：りょ～じゃあな～オマエら♡

Hanma: Yes sir～ See yaaa～ you guys ♡

佐野 万次郎：さて、アイツには勝てたけどまだオマエらには勝ってねぇんだ

Mikey: Then, I’ve beaten him but I haven’t won against you guys yet. 

佐野 万次郎：今日はオレが連戦連勝できるようになるまで付き合ってもらうからな！

Mikey: You’ll stay here with me today until I’m on a winning streak!

羽宮 一虎：マジかよマイキー無理だって諦めな？

Kazutora: For real Mikey there’s no way you’ll give up?

佐野 万次郎：いや！さっきのでコツ掴んだからいける！

Mikey: No! I got the hang of it earlier so I can do it! 

河田 ナホヤ：どっから来るんだ？その自信はよぉ

Smiley: Where’s this coming from? That confidence of yours.

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

how would the guys react to being marked??

like, let's say MC ties a bow on their stuff[motorcycle, clothes, bags... their wrist], and it sort of wards others off?? "oh, that bow means they're MC's...let me walk away quickly.."

just like marking them in general to keep others away?? ..while MC figures out a good plan to actually confess to them. lol :D

Ah that sounds cool! Here's how I think each of them would react to being "marked" with a bow

Takemichi- He probably doesn't even notice, just sees it as a cute bow and thinks nothing else of it. He does get a little confused as to why he's suddenly being avoided, but shrugs it off. Maybe he's just imagining it????

Mikey- Takes awhile to work out what the bow is doing but when he eventually does he's confused. You want him that much? Why not just tell him? He decides to tie a ribbon round you back, assuming maybe that's how dating is done???

Draken- "huh? What the hell is this?" He honestly thinks it's silly but keeps it on anyways. After all you're the one who done it for him. Doesn't know what to think about the marking aspect, he's glad you're interested in him but wants you to tell him.

Baji- He's very confused but it reminds him of when cat's wear bows so decides to keep it. Assumes you only did it because you thought it would look though.

Chifuyu- So excited by this!!!! He immediately figures out why you've done this but then he doubts himself a little so he ends up questioning why. He really hopes it's because you're interested in him though and wanted to show it. Happily shows everyone the ribbon too.

Mitsuya- Smiles softly at it, it is a very pretty ribbon. He has a feeling that you're interested in him and that's why you tied you to him but he waits patiently for you to tell him yourself.

Hakkai- Freaks out! He loves it but it also makes him very nervous, probably goes to Yuzuha with it to ask for advice.

Pah- He has no idea what this means but looking at it makes him happy so he keeps it.

Peh- Shouts loudly like "HUH!???" the first time you put it on. Asks you lots of times what it means but you never give him a clear answer. He keeps it on but hides it though, just in case you're trying to prank him.

Smiley- Blushes a lot when you give it to him, he isn't sure if this is a romantic gesture exactly but he hopes it is. Then walks around threatening anyone who dares to make any kind of comment about it.

Angry- Softly admires it, even if you only mean this in a friendship way he's happy with it. Immediately plans on gifting you something back though, he wants you to have something of his too.

Mucho- Shrugs, he's glad you're warming up to him though. Notices straight away how it wards others off but he doesn't mind, you're the one he wants anyway.

Sanzu- Raises an eyebrow at it but doesn't say anything or try to remove it. Strokes the ribbon a lot throughout the day though and thinks of you. He vaguely wonders if this means you want him but he tries to not get his hopes up.

Kisaki- Scoffs at it, he isn't keen but doesn't dare to remove it. Wishes you could've just used your words instead though.

Hanma- Laughs at it and immediately jokes that this is your way of marking him (it's not clear if he figured it out or if it's a lucky guess though). Teases you that he wants you to matk him in a different way ;)

Kazutora- "what the hell???" He's touched by it but confused. He also dislikes how much he likes it. Does his best to convince himself that it's not a big deal and that you probably don't mean anything by it.

Koko- Looks so shocked when you give it to him, he really wasn't expecting this. He keeps it close to him at all times though, acting like it's his most valuable possession. Refuses to answer Inui's questions about it too. He knows it's your way of marking him and he happily accepts it.

Inui- He has a feeling that you're trying to mark him with this but isn't 100% sure. He's fine with it though and keeps it on.

Taiju- Rolls his eyes after going "huh!?" But on the inside he's freaking out a bit. Is this your way of claiming him??? Shouldn't he be the one to claim you first?? Decides to watch and see how this will play out but if you take too long then he'll make the first move.

Izana- He's very curious about this development. He likes the gift but doesn't like that you're walking around without being "marked" by him while he has a clear mark from you. Decides to get you something back because he wants everyone to know you're his too.

Kakucho- Aww he's very embarrassed but thankful about it. Feels like it's a meaningful gift but isn't exactly sure what it represents. Blushes a lot while wearing it around.

Ran- Immediately starts teasing you about it, giving you smug smiles and making comments about how yoy could use different methods to mark him in the future. He's happily flaunting it around to everyone he knows too.

Rindou- "oh..." is very reserved about it, even though his face is bright red. He's a bit shocked and doesn't know what to say, keeps it on show though. He treasures it a lot.

Shion- Shouting about it immediately, he's running around and showing everyone he can find. Hope you weren't trying to keep it on the down low because it definitely won't stay that way with him.

Mochi- "what's this?" He's straight to the point, asking you what it's about. He is happy with it but the guessing is driving him crazy, he needs to know.

South- Frowns at it, trying to figure out what it means exactly. He isn't sure but feels like he should keep it anyway. Is very loud in tracking you down and asking you about it though.

Wakasa- Smiles at you while lifting an eyebrow, you expect him to ask you about it but he doesn't. Instead he just shrugs and leaves it alone, keeping it on. You get the feeling he definitely knows.

Benkei- He is very confused by this but likes having something from you so doesn't question it (he's also a bit worried you'll friend zone him or something).

Shinichiro- immediately starts celebrating, he's sure this is your way of asking him to be your boyfriend. Also starts making plans to give you something back and ask you properly. (You both probably end up confessing at once).

Tokyo revengers: them meeting you at a coffee shop

ft. Ken "draken" ryuguji, Kazutora hanemiya, shuji hanma and takashi mitsuya

Cw: english is not my first language, there may be translation errors, cute content, fem!reader

.

DRAKEN liked to go to cafes to relax, and have some peace. On this specific day, he was very tired, because Mikey left him to resolve several toman issues, so as soon as he finished resolving them, the first thing he did was go to his favorite cafe. Arriving there, he saw a different face, one that he would never have seen before.

When he left the cafe, his heart was pounding and he was breathing heavily, he had never seen a girl as beautiful as you.

After that, he started going to the cafe more, just so he could talk to you.

For KAZUTORA, the more time he spent away from home, the better it was. So he always went to this cafe to laugh. He arrived with a slightly sad face, and with a black eye, he didn't care about the looks and whispers, he just wanted to eat and leave. As soon as he entered, you answered and took your order. Kazutora was surprised, you were beautiful, you were so polite...his cheeks flushed, he knew he had found someone special, someone who could finally take care of him. After that day, he went to the cafe every day, doing so, you would meet a lot and end up talking. With great courage, he asked for her number, starting a deeper friendship, which would definitely turn into a relationship.

HANMA is shameless! and he only went to this cafe because there were very pretty girls, he had already been with all the girls there, so he only went to see if he could find a pretty customer. However, he didn't find a client beautiful enough for him, but as fate would have it, he found you! so beautiful and kind...as soon as you answered him, he was direct and asked for your number. Obviously you were a little embarrassed, but you passed. On the same day he started talking to you, but he was acting strange... he kept looking at his cell phone just to see if he received a message from you, and every time he went to the cafe and saw you, his heart raced and he tried to ignore it. that. Because it would be impossible for him to be in love with you, but he was - a lot - with each passing day this passion increased. Maybe it's time for Shuji to say goodbye to all his girlfriends and start something serious.

MITSUYA was quite busy, and didn't have much time for dating. But this thought of not having time for dating changed as soon as he saw you. You were so beautiful, it was inevitable not to fall in love.

He had gone to his favorite cafe, along with Hakkai and his sisters, when he arrived you were the first to answer.

Her voice was so sweet. Before leaving the cafe he asked for your number, and you obviously passed, after all, who wouldn't?

Well, maybe he was in love... and maybe you were too.

Hi!! This is my first post here. Please support, I'm a beginner writer! And I would love to see that you liked my work 💗

[katsune-nya]

Matsuno Chifuyu x Baji!Reader. D-drable?

Ok, listen, I have a WHOLE fic about Baji!Reader x Chifuyu on the WIPs, so, this is just... Um... Me kinda babbling about the lore behind it. (The fic is fem reader tho).

GN!Reader. SFW. Fix It Fic. Idiots In Love. Baji being y'all's number one fan.

• Ryoko used to go to the Sano Dojo, after she had you two she signed you into it as well.

• Kei and you grew up with Mikey, y'all were a pain in the ass for everyone around you, but grandpa Sano tolerated it since y'all were great students.

• Shin got scolded tripple by his grandpa, these three kids showed up every class and were so good at it and... There he was.

• Power Duo, y'all can kick ass tremendously.

• When Kei and Tora plan to steal a bike for Mikey you just... Tell them no. Plus, mfs, did you not know that's SHINICHIRO'S SHOP????

• Nothing happens, Shin's alive and Tora ok.

• You go to the same school, when Fuyu met Kei, helping him write the letter for Tora, you were on recess with your friends.

• Regardless, later on, since they were always together you ended up meeting him

• You couldn't lie... He was really cute.

• Fuyu's first reaction when meeting you was to be slightly intimidated ngl.

• You had grown up with Baji Fucking Keisuke and Baji Fucking Ryoko, you HAD to build a strong presence.

• Kei introduced you two and Fuyu was just "H-Hi, Baji-san... Baji-san 2? W-wait, no! That's not what I meant!"

• Poor boy.

• Friendship quickly blossomed!

• And a mutual crush, definitely.

• Keisuke knew from the beginning, in spite of him being fucking iliterate he's actually incredibly smart and perceptive.

• He tried to get y'all together so many times but all his plans failed.

• He even got the rest of Toman involved.

• Then, the whole Kisaki thing started.

• Kei and you knew the mf was suspicious asf.

• And him instead of working together with you and Fuyu decided to go to Valhalla for info and yeah...

• But! We have a new character! That actually has a relatively functional brain!

• Welcome, Baji Y/N, you are their only hope.

• While evetone was freaking out on different degrees you took it on your hands to encourage them.

Y/N: Everything will be ok. You can not stop it.

Y/N: Everything will be fine. You have no choice.

Chifuyu: What the fuck kind of pep talk is that?

Y/N: Ominous positivity.

• Kazutora aproves.

• Yeah, as I said, relatively functional brain.

Kei: A decision had to be made.

Y/N: And you fucked it up!

Kei: I was with Chifuyu?

Chifuyu: *Turning in his chair* Wanna try again?

• You spend so much time together Toman thinks you're an item already.

• When Kei says you're not they are so... Ugh. Still?

Kei: *Sees Y/N and Chifuyu together*

Kei: They're cute. I would put them on a boat.

Kazutora: You mean... you ship them?

• Kei and Tora make all of Toman design an unnecessarily complex plan to get y'all to confess.

Some incorrect quotes that encapsulate y'all's relationships.

Kei: Hey, wanna help me commit arson?

Y/N: What the hell!?

Kei: Oh, sorry, my bad.

Kei: *Whispering* Wanna help me commit arson?

Y/N: *Whispering* Of course. What do you need?

Y/N: This is a bad idea.

Kei: Then why are you coming along?

Y/N: Someone has to get your injured ass home.

Kei: I love you.

Y/N: *Zoning out* What?

Kei: I said I’m selling you to the zOo-

*To Chifuyu*

Kei: Thought I was meowing back at Peke J for the past hour, but it was just me and Y/N meowing at each other from different rooms in the house.

Kei: Are you busy?

Y/N: Yes.

Kei: Cool, listen to this...

Kei: I got an idea!

Y/N: Does it involve breaking the law?

Kei: By now don’t you think that’s a given?

Y/N: I was just trying to be optimistic.

Kei: Don’t bother.

*About the Baji siblings*

Mitsuya: Who's in charge there?

Chifuyu: Usually whoever yells the loudest.

Y/N: I told Kei that his ears turn red when he lies.

Chifuyu: Oh, they do?

Y/N: No.

Chifuyu: Then why did you tell him that?

Y/N: Because I can do this.

Y/N: Hey Kei! Do you love us?

Kei: *With his hands over his ears* No.

Chifuyu: What would Y/N think?

Kei: Ok, that’s an interesting thought, but hear me out: what if… we ran an experiment where we spent the rest of our lives finding out what happened if we never told them?

Chifuyu: Do you guys ever have a civilized conversation that doesn't require insulting each other every time you get a chance?

Kei: No.

Y/N: No.

Chifuyu: Didn't think so.

Kei: Why don’t you go talk to them?

Chifuyu: *Sarcastically* Oh. Yeah, sure.

Baji: What? Just go tell Y/N they're cute, what’s the worst that could happen?

Chifuyu: They could hear me.

Y/N: Kill me nowwwww.

Kei: Sorry, no can do. I need your help with my homework.

Y/N: *Watching Chifuyu do something stupid* Keisuke, you're officially only the second highest risk here.

Kei: Hell yeah! I'm gonna-.

Y/N: Don't finish that sentence, you'll move back up.

Have you headcanons for Bonten Timeline?

They spent many years apart, but I want to believe that at some point Koko and Inupi will somehow meet again, mostly by chance and unintentionally, it's the destiny, the universe? whatever, that brings them together again. Depending on the situation, they try to let it go, but they can't pretend nothing happened, we know that it's enough one single time for Inupi to understand that Koko is not okay, so they'll probably try to make thins work. Mikey's death could be the start for an actual improvement

Dark impulses at some point starts to destroy Mikey, he's canonically too thin and generally unwell in Bonten. I believe at some point he became addict to various drugs, together with Sanzu that couldn't help but follow Mikey, remembering what happened in the original Timeline

Chifuyu at some point, partially because of Takemichi's informations from the future, and partially because he knew Kazutora was important for Baji, starts to visit Kazutora in juvie/prison. At first Kazutora is mortified and ashamed of himself, but he allows Chifuyu to visit him because he felt he owns him at least the possibility to tell him directly how much he hates him. But their dialogue goes differently. Chifuyu is still mad at Kazutora, but he understands he was manipulated and he had his own problems even before the accident with Shinichiro. Chifuyu says he wants to try to understand him better since he was important for Baji. So that's how their friendship starts, with visits and exchange if letters. it was natural for Tora to help Fuyu with his shop once he get out of jail

Inupi and Draken bond over their lost (literally and metaphorically) loves and bikes. They open D&D mostly with Inupi's money; I guess/headcanon that thanks to his role in BLACK DRAGON he had earned - not so legally, but still- a good amount of -mostly dirty- money. Since he wants a fresh starts, he's happy to invest all those money in the shop. And it's thanks to Draken's tutor/father figure (the brothel manager) that they can have the permit to open the shop, since at the beginning they were both still minors (Idk if that's how bureaucracy works in Japan, but listen, D&D was a thing in 2008 and they weren't of age yet in Japan, since at the time, until people were minors until they turned 20, lol)

Inupi and Draken try to follow Shinichiro's steps, so D&D became a safe place for kids that have nowhere to go, and they teach them the basics to fix motors, so these kids stay aways from the streets/troubles in general. It's also the unofficial headquarters for the formers Toman members, that stay more or less in touch even after the gang's disbanding

Senju is probably dead in this TL, and probably it's the reason why, even if they never had a great relationship, Takeomi and Sanzu are both in Bonten, even if I believe their relationship is still difficult, but they got closer again to remember their sister

Koko sometimes checks on Inupi at D&D. When he's younger he tries to convince himself he's doing it for Inupi, but after a while he admits to himself he's doing it just because he misses him, he knows well that Inupi is okay even without him... he's even better without him, and this destroys him, even if he's glad that Inupi is living an honest and safe life

on the outside tho, Koko is as cunning as ever, the life he has in Bonten made him merciless, something he hates what he has become but there's no other way to live. He also uses drugs, mostly to work more, but he tries not to become addicted. His white hair is not bleached, it's just stress, and at some point he just accepts it and style it in a fancy way

Kakucho follows Mikey because he understands his pain for loosing Izana. Their pain is different, for Mikey it meant he lost the last of his siblings, even of they weren't actually related and they. didn't even know each other, but they could have been a family, the potential was there. For Kakucho, Izana was his family, his love, his everything

૮₍˶ •. • ⑅₎ა hello peeps, i'm kuma, she/her and i'm bi-ace. these are a few rules that nobody needs to go out of their way whilst following.

๑՞⇢ blog rules :

✤ do not plagiarize or paraphrase my content, please. i work hard to make these fics and it would just be downright disrespectful to steal someone's credit. don't do that to anyone, you guys.

✤ do not request 18+ content. while i'm comfortable writing mildly suggestive scenes, a makeout is as far as i will go.

✤ some of the characters i write will possess headcanon traits. which include asd and adhd, both of which i have.

✤ be respectful of others and their boundaries while having discussions. it goes without saying that debates are really interesting but lets not tear each other down. a little positivity goes a long way.

✤ don't be offended if i am a bit late to reply. i am a high-school student and have a life outside social media. with my entrance exam studies already starting, i have very little spare time, majority of which i spend on tumblr.

✤ i love writing ocs too, so don't be surprised if you see a lot of those. you can also ask for oc works but those aren't seen often and i may get the characterisation wrong.

✤ i write platonic pairings just as much as romantic ones, if not more. so don't hesitate to ask for some good ol' friendship and sibling fics.

»---------------------►

๑՞⇢ fandoms i write for are :

tokyo revengers [mikey, draken, baji, chifuyu, mitsuya, kazutora, inupi, kokonoi, shinichiro, haruchiyo, emma, hinata, senju, kawata twins, izana, kakucho...]

wounded

pairing: baji keisuke x gn!reader

genre/wc: fluff, hurt/comfort (2.4k)

request: ok what about baji x reader meeting at the hospital au? like he makes it to the hospital and the reader is also there bc of an accident and they happen to be roommates? and even tho they're both quite the opposite they start to build a friendship, get really close and after the reader leaves the hospital baji realises how much he enjoyed the readers company + the reader comes to visit him and they keep their friendship going (overall fluff and hurt-comfort maybe?)

a/n: first off: HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!! now, i really love this idea, and this was really comforting and interesting to write since baji is my tokrev comfort character <3 reader sort of has my personality sorry in advance LMAO this is so self-projecting of me; thank you for requesting and please enjoy. please read warnings before proceeding.

warnings: takes place right after the valhalla vs toman fight [alt. ending], reader is hospitalized due to a car accident, re-tellings of blood, and fear. mentions of suicide. THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM TOKYO REVENGERS VALHALLA ARC.

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐃𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐉𝐈'𝐒 𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍, 𝐈𝐓 𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐒 his eyes and suddenly he feels a dull ache behind his lids. he closes his eyes, 'steady breaths' baji tells himself. he's— to a certain extent,—aware of what's going on: he has two stab wounds, his head is pounding now, and he can hear chifuyu behind the crowd of doctors pulling his gurney. what he doesn't know however, is how he's gonna survive.

baji opens his eyes, a heavy soreness threatens him to close them again. 'must've fallen asleep.' fighting the pain, he looks around to his surroundings. he's now in a hospital room, it's plain and minimally decorated; bone white walls with frames of doctor alumni smiling bone white teeth— baji snorts. "who gives a fuck," he mumbles quietly, before adjusting his position. a sharp pain in his abdomen erupts a sharp groan of pain, 'motherfucker.' baji's arms lift slowly to peal away his shirt. bandages stained with the patches of blood were wrapped tightly around his stomach and suddenly baji felt like he was suffocating.

"looks lethal," a voice from his right calls out. "you feeling okay?"

baji shoots his head in your direction. he was too occupied with himself to realize you were right next to him, also in pretty bad shape: he took a glance at your face before his eyes trailed down towards your left leg that was currently being supported by a brace block.

by his lack of response, and his abundant stare, you answer his silent question: "car accident. drunk driving, the asshole rammed straight into us. and my leg, as you can see, got fucked up in the process." you gaze at it, an unsettling sensation travels throughout the limb. you typically wouldn't have wanted to remind yourself of the fear and blood you saw that night, but the boy seemed curious. "i've been practicing how to use crutches, but my body doesn't seem to want to cooperate," you scoff. "what about you?"

baji furrows his brows, he supposed you were his roomate for the next how-ever-many-days (or weeks, who knows), he ought it wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know you.

"stab wound," he mutters. your eyes widen and his gloss over at the recollections of last day's fight. blurred memories of kazutora, and mikey, and chifuyu. kazutora on the dirtied ground, mikey above him as he plummeted fists upon fists to his face. the blood he choked up was enough for baji to reminiscence the familiar taste in his own mouth. he remembered chifuyu, holding him in his arms after he had plunged the knife into his own stomach. he remembered thinking about how he was going to die, and how he was going to help everyone by doing so. 'well, so much for that.'— and that kisaki, fucking kisaki tetta. baji clenches his fish and tenses his jaw at the mere reminder of him. he hears your voice, and it pulls him away from his thoughts, "huh? sorry, what d'ya say?"

you lean back against your pillow with a consoling smile, "i said it's nice to meet you.." you trail off. the boy gives you his name: "baji, you're the first to accompany me in here— it can get pretty lonely. i'm y/n by the way."

baji returns your smile, before an unexpected yawn escapes his throat. "what time is it?" the view outside the too-small window shows a night sky: dark, quiet, and cold. baji unconsiously pulls the blanket up further to his neck.

"almost midnight, hope you're not afraid of the dark." you taunt.

baji laughs this time, "ah ah, watch it."

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐁𝐀𝐉𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐔𝐏 𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐍𝐒. groggily opening his eyes, he immediately turns his head over when another groan leaves your mouth. baji rubs his eyes and attempts to shuffle into a more comfortable position. the same sharp pain from last night burns into his flesh.

"be careful baji, the doctor's advised you to not move around too much." a nurse tells him, and greets him good morning. she must've noticed him get up as she was helping you position your leg over the side of the bed. baji mutters a 'morning' back before looking over to you. your face is scrunched in searing pain while you hold onto the nurse for support as she grabs your crutches because "practice makes perfect!" he can see you roll your eyes.

"see you in a bit, baji" you tell him, sending a brief smile his way before hunching as you and the nurse slowly make your way outside the room. with you waddling on two sticks, the nurse is forced to slow herself down tenfolds. all part of the job.

baji listens to the nurse's advice and closes his eyes. he thinks about his friends, his mother, his situation, and you. you had told him that walking on crutches was difficult for you, and he hoped you could adapt to it soon. he wondered where his friends were right now, was kazutora okay? and how about chifuyu? and that takemitchi guy...

someone knocks at the door. it's draken.

"how you feelin' man?," draken says, bending his head slightly to enter the humid room. "doc said you were asleep, when'd you get up?" he takes a seat on the chair adjacent to baji's bed, slumping down after tying a "get well soon!" balloon to its railing.

baji chuckles, suddenly feeling extremely happy to see one of his friends. "just now," he looks over to draken then to the glass of water by his table. draken notices, silently handing over the cup as baji gulps it down faster than he's ever drank something. baji clears his throat, it feels slightly clammy but the taste of blood has significantly disappeared.

"only you today?" baji asks.

"yeah, the others want to see you too. they'll pop by soon enough."

baji hums, head leaning back. he sighs, "can't believe i'm stuck here. it's the worst."

draken mirrors him, leaning his head back against the plush cushion of the worn chair. "who told you to stab yourself?" he smirks.

baji laughs, then coughs, and laughs some more. "shut up asshole," genuinely smiling for the first time since yesterday, "i.. i just— man i don't know." baji was clueless on how to explain his thoughts to draken, so he left it at that. draken doesn't push him any further.

moments later, you stumble in. looking as if you just ran a marathon, you—as fast as you could with crutches—stagger your way to your bed and immediately hand the nurse the canes. you were so tired, you barely noticed the six foot tall man sitting next to baji, who looked at you with bewildered concern. baji whispers to him that you're his roomate, to which draken simply nods.

"good job today," the nurse chimes, "you're improving very quickly. you'll be out of here in no time if you keep it up!" she sends a bright smile your way (you return it with a half-assed smile of your own) before leaving the room to attend to her other paitents.

"improving quickly my ass," you mutter while reaching over to your glass on your table. you raise it to your lip to drink—only to find it's empty. your eyes widen.

"what happened to my water?" you ask baji, who looks at you, then draken, then back to you with eyes wider than your own.

"uh— um, i- i'm not sure," baji stammers as his cheeks flush in embarassment. draken snickers, back facing you as he realizes what he just did: he offered baji your cup with your drink.

draken tells you he'll get another cup for you, saying it was already empty when he came in (baji glared daggers into him), and you gratefully thank him. after he returns with the cup, you gulp it down with fevor that could match baji's. draken bids you two goodbye, before leaning down by baji's ear to whisper: "this may be the worst, but at least you're stuck with someone cute hm?"

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒, 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐉𝐈 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 growing quite fond of you. being stuck in this bleak room that reeks of bitter antiseptic and uninviting photos of surgeons, was much better with you around.

the two of you would converse all day and night, except for the times when you declared you needed your daily afternoon naps ("why do you need to sleep so much?" baji told you. "so i can rest up idiot! you should try it—you look like a wrinkled vegetable." you relaliated.). now, baji would spend his time either napping too; or staring at your relaxed features until you woke up.

at times he needed to go get check-ups, you encouraged him that the pain will be over soon and that he's strong for keeping up with it thus far. ("don't look so glum hm? you can do it." you told him one day when he seemed extra tired. he had peered at you with a softer look in his eyes, whispering "thanks y/n, you're the best."). and when you would go for check-ups, or your daily walks with the crutches, baji could see how much you were improving with each passing day. he was proud of you, and he could tell you were too: that huge smile that graced you every time the nurse complimented your progress was something he loved to see.

as draken had promised, his other friends came to visit him quite frequently. you were able to remember some of their faces for that reason, too. there was a particular boy who came the most often by the name of matsuno. ("a friend of baji's is a friend of mine, you can call me chifuyu!") you could tell he was baji's closest friend out of the bunch, he showed you a louder and more energetic side of baji you haven't seen yet; considering his situation, you didn't expect much though. it was nice— to see baji smile so widely, mainly because he had a such a nice smile.

the days carried on like so: wake up, talk with baji, laugh with baji, check-ups, naps, continue to talk, visits, talk, sleep, repeat.

one particular night where you couldn't sleep, you nudged him around with your arm until he woke up with a small yelp. chuckling, you guiltily told him: "can't sleep, keisuke."— baji had given you the permission to call him by his first name, and every time he heard it from you, he knew it was the best decision he'd ever made. "no? then let's talk until you do, how's that sound?" he told you, reaching over to brush his fingers against yours for a moment. you smile wearily, brushing your fingers against his once more "... sounds good."

"𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆!" 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄 cheers one morning, "isn't that amazing news? i told you practice makes perfect."

you gape at her, eyes watering with a mixture of relief and happiness,—yet also reluctance and sadness. you look over at baji, who has a look similar to yours. he sends you a toothy grin and thumbs up. you grin back at him.

"yes, that's amazing nurse. thank you for letting me know."

the nurse nods happily and recalls all the preparations needed for your discharge: who to call, who's picking you up at what time, reminders to pack everything that belongs to you, follow-ups, etcetra.

you absentmindedly nod at her rant, your mind distracted by the fact that you'll be leaving before baji does.

"𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐁𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃," 𝐁𝐀𝐉𝐈 𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐒, "𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 leave this disgusting place."

you laugh. "yeah," you blink back a rising feeling, "i guess you're right." you look at him.

baji's face is a faint expression, you can't tell what he's thinking. not until he tells you himself: "i'm gonna miss you, a lot."

you can't help the sparse tears that fall down your cheeks. you feel like you're leaving your best friend of 10 years, and you might as well be, with how close the two of you got throughout your time spent together. reaching over for his hand, warm and comforting in contrast to your cold grip, you smile at him. "don't worry kei, i'll visit you all the time, okay? i promise."

"you fucking better," grinning at your laugh. "i'll be here." you nod, and bid him farewell with a fleeting touch.

𝐁𝐀𝐉𝐈 𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐓. 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐃 significantly, but this was something else. and the many nights after that, the unbearable ache remained. it's been weeks now, with still no sight of you. he was beginning to think you forgot.

"where's ... ?" mikey asks as he pops into the room with a bag of snacks. "'nother check-up?" baji knew he was referring to you, but stayed silent, only shaking his head and greeting his friend to change the topic.

as the two of them conversed; sharing recent gossip about emma and draken, and how takemitchi "made hina so mad the other day, i swear she's a lot stronger than him!" mikey laughed and baji cursed because he wanted to see takemitchi get his ass handed to him.

"whose ass is getting handed to who?" your voice calls out from the door.

baji's eyes widen and his heartbeat pounds. mikey turns around, cheers and mispronounces your name—to which baji hits him on the head for. "mikey! you're so embarassing, stop!"

you chuckle at the boys, making your way to the opposite side of baji's bed. "i hope you didn't give up on me," you tell him, "i promised you i'd visit no?"

he sends you a cheeky grin, reaching out for your hand the way you did his. "almost, but i knew my doubts." he shrugs.

you hit playfully as the three of you laugh. you explained to him how it took your family some convincing, they questioned why you would want to return to such a place when you didn't need to. you told them you made a friend, someone who helped you make it through the painful days in the hospital. you had to go back. for him.

so here you were, holding baji keisuke's hand as the two of you promised to stay friends forever and more.

Can I ask for a Yandere Platonic Boys going with reader to a concert?

i'm kinda free and i'm kinda bored, have an ask maybe? - i assume you're talking about Toman here anon! if you're referring to any of the other boys just send it in again :)

Link to A Friend In Me

Masterlist

‎

Maybe you won the tickets to go see your favourite band in a giveaway, and you don't really have (aren't allowed to) any other friends to go with you. So despite your Toman friends having zero to no interest in the type of music you listen to, you still invite them to go along if they want to, making sure to tell them they didn't have to go. And to your surprise, all the Toman boys 100% want to go with you.

The boys would be super pumped when you first invite them, eager to have a fun afternoon out with you. Even if they didn't like the music or the band, what mattered was that they would be the ones that got to share the experience with you. Plus, someone has to keep an eye on you with so many strangers around and vice versa - no one's going to stand for you being harrassed when you were supposed to be having fun.

You try not to talk too much about the band leading up to the concert especially around your friends seeing that they don't really care for them, but Draken and Mitsuya take pity on you, letting you rant and rave at them about how much you like - relate even - their music. These two boys like taking the opportunity to know you better, to find out what makes you tick, but the rest? Not so much - they just want your full attention on them and not some far-off strangers (who can barely sing if you asked them).

But when the day finally comes, you know all the Toman boys make the effort to get you the best possible view of the stage - turning up several hours early to try and get in the front of the queue, but failing that, bully their way up much of the queue. Doesn't tell you what they were doing, but the way your face lights up is enough. Baji and Kazutora 100% turned up late even though all six agreed to be there early, but still insisted on being paid their fair share of cuddles (they were promptly pushed to the end of the queue).

Very obvious once the concert starts that the boys fall into one of two camps - one side would get very upset about you liking this band as much as you do. Mikey, Kazutora and Pah are downright pissed with how much you seemed to vibe along and love the performer - doesn't matter if they were girls or guys, anyone that dared to wiggle their way into your heart besides them was unforgivable. Can't see what's so great about "those strangers", but given its very hard for some delinquents to beat up actual celebrities, all they can do is get very pouty when you talk too much about the band though. Unacceptable that you have even the lightest of celebrity crushes on the band members - these baby boys will start whining and pouting and trying to distract you with other things to take your mind off of those scuffs of dirt and back onto them.

But the other camp 100% support you and your love of the band, willing to put their support behind you much to Mikey's chagrin. Draken, Mistuya, and (surprisingly) Baji would be more than glad to buy (read: steal/bully out of someone else) their merchandise for you, seeing that you could be so happy even though the band would never pose a danger to their friendship - it was an easy way to keep you contented by their side. Would even lift you on their shoulders if you couldn't get a good look, wave lightsticks and sing whatever they knew - these three boys definitely looked into and learned your favourite songs. Understand that celebrity crushes are just that - a passing crush that would never come to anything, so they would be more forgiving if you do squeal a little. These baby boys would even tease you about it, they love

A lot of infighting among the founders all throughout the concert and thus forward that's for sure, but one thing for certain is that no matter what they think about your feelings on the band, none of the Toman boys would stand for anyone else making fun or bullying you over your taste in music.

A Letter from Keisuke Baji <3

˚๑꒰﹕Hey everyone! I'm back and with the fourth post in 'A letter from….' series! The reader is gender neutral and all the letters are platonic! I hope you like it!!

HELLO READER PERSON,

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?

Ok Chifuyu did tell me I was supposed to start with dear in a letter but it sounds so sappy and fucking cringe so no way am I doing that….

I am using a dictionary to check my spellings though so if u can’t understand something I do apologize! Me and spellings don’t mix haha.

Well I doubt you’ll get to read this after all….

If you are wondering where I disappeared off to and why I haven’t been in touch for a while, it’s because I’m no longer in Toman! I joined this new gang, Valhalla! There is this pest that needs removing so…

I can’t let anyone else get hurt ever again….

ANYWAYS! Today Chifuyu called me out so I went to meet him and this weird kid I punched a while ago at the meeting to chose the Toman third division captain. Takemichi his name is….

He had the guts to punch the new third division captain in front of the everyone including the president!

A fucking dumbass….

But I like him…..

BUT STILL A DUMBASS!

Hence yours truly served a punch!

For some reason….

He told me I was gonna die soon…..

Before you panic like you always do, I DON’T THINK I’LL DIE! I AM PRETTY STRONG! 

One of the strongest of Toman and Valhalla in fact!

But for some reason…. I have this feeling….

If this is the last time…..

What if I never get to say goodbye…..

HENCE THIS LETTER!

U MOST LIKELY WON'T READ THIS CAUSE I'LL BE FINE I'M STRONG but if this does reach ur hands it means....i...well....

I wish I could talk to you in person though!

And Chifuyu too!

Chifuyu…..

You know something Reader? Peke J doesn’t stop by any more…..

Ever since that day…..

Ever since the day I fucked up everything and ruined my friendship with Chifuyu….

I do keep looking at the window though…

I do keep thinking, Peke J! This food is getting stale here you know! It’s time for your play date!

But he never showed up…..

I wish I could tell Chifuyu that I’m sorry but somehow…..

I feel like I’ve fucked things up for good…..

I wish he would abandon me already……

If I do end up dying tomorrow…..

I hope… I hope he could forgive me for what I had done….

AH FUCK! I GOT THE PAPER WET! IF U DO GET THIS, THIS WAS BECAUSE I SPILT WATER ON THE PAPER OK????

I TOTALLY WASN’T CRYING AT ALL! SO DON’T U DARE THINK THAT!

Somehow just the thought of my life ending soon brings back a flash of memories….

You know reader? SINCE YOU ARE TOTALLY NEVER GOING TO GET THIS, I’m gonna let you in on a secret….

I don’t think anyone knows this in fact…..

BUT LIKE,

Whenever a day feels a little too much…..

Whenever burning cars doesn’t feel enough…..

Whenever past memories come to haunt me in the form of nightmares….

You know what I would love?

A nice, warm comforting hug!

YES I KNOW! I DON’T SEEM LIKE A HUGGING KINDA PERSON!

AND DON’T U DARE TELL ANYONE ESPECIALLY KAZUTORA! He won’t let me live this down….

That day…

That day when Shinichiro died….

I felt like dizzy, the spell of blood hitting me, making me realize that the guy I looked up to as an older brother was now dead and lying sprawled out in front of me….

I felt like the world was ending as my heart shattered into a million pieces….

Somehow in that moment, it felt like it was the end….

Like I couldn’t go on….

I mean how could I? I was the reason Shinichiro kun died…..

But in that moment, I saw Kazutora….

Seeing him more broken than I was….

Knowing all that he had been through….

Knowing that he planned this all so that Mikey could be happy…..

I couldn’t stand seeing Kazutora cry…..

Before I knew it, I swallowed my fear, my withering pain and hugged him close, promising I would never let him go…

Whatever we did and whatever we will do….

We are in this together….

I’ll give up everything just to be in hell with you…..

As long as you are happy….

As long as everyone is happy…..

That’s all that matters….

But somehow that day…..

Even though I tried to ignore it....

As selfish as it was….

Some part of my heart wanted someone to hug me tight just like I hugged Kazutora that day…

Telling me that it was all gonna be ok! 

That it was ok for me to feel sad or cry whenever I wanted to!

That day….

When they took me and Kazutora in for police questioning…..

I saw my mom….

And somehow…..

Everything around me faded away……

I remember screaming on the top of my voice as the sobs chocked my throat… I ran straight headfirst and held on to her tight.

And I cried and cried and cried…..

For some reason…. I thought she would yell at me….

Even hate me for what I did….

Instead she put her arms around me….

And she didn’t let go……

In that moment,

Even though I always felt very strong…..

That was the safest I felt in a long time….

I wish I could feel that way again…..

ANYWAYS NOW THAT IS OUT OF THE WAY! LIKE I SAID DON’T TELL ANYONE!

EVEN IF I DO END UP DYING, MY GHOST WILL HAUNT YOU FOR LIFE IF U DO!

If I do end up dying…..

Somehow just the thought of it makes everything trivial and insignificant fade away…..

Me grumbling over not being able to watch the next episode of Kayo Suspense Gekijyo….

Me not able to get the latest copy of the action manga I wanted….

Me not being able to see Peke J for a bit….

Me wanting to open a pet shop in the future…..

All that is no longer important to me anymore…..

All I want is….

All I want is for…..

Toman to be happy…..

Draken, Mitsuya, Pah, Mikey, Kazutora, Chifuyu….

You…..

I want all of you to be safe and happy…..

I love you guys so much…..

ARGH THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING AND CRINGE WHAT AM I WRITING-

ANYWAYS….

I visited Shinichiro’s grave today….

Perhaps if I’m fortunate enough to see him again….

I wish I could say sorry….

For robbing him of the years he could have spent with Mikey and Emma chan…..

It’s something that burns me, eats me away on the inside, just like the cars I set fire to against the early morning dawn.

I was thinking as I walked back home….

If I do die….

Who is gonna look after u guys?

Who is gonna make sure you all are doing ok?

It was getting dark and a strong gust of wind blew across my face.

Forcing me to look up at the night sky.

It was dark, very dark.

The blackness stretching for miles and miles with no end to it….

That’s when I saw it…

A single lone star….

Shining brightly against the darkness….

That’s when it struck me!

If I’m…no longer here….

I want to be that star up there….

So that whenever u guys look up, u can see me there…. 

Whenever u guys feel sad or lonely….

Or feel like nothing is going your way.

JUST LOOK UP AND I’LL BE THERE!

It will be my way of saying

HEY! I’M HERE YOU KNOW!

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK!

There is nothing you guys can’t handle as long as I’m here!

As for me well,

I’ll get to see you guys grow older….

Achieve your wildest dreams….

Who knows what you all will end up doing in the future!

I SHUDDER TO THINK!

ANYWAYS NO ONE CAN SHINE BRIGHTER THAN ME CAUSE IM A FUCKING STAR GET IT?

Oh well if not a star, I can always be Peke j’s distant cousin or something….

OH MY GOSH LOOK AT THE TIME! I’VE BEEN WRITING FOR SO LONG! 

Just a couple of final things…

If you do end up finding this, just letting you know that I wrote something for Chifuyu as well! It should be along with this one… Please make sure it reaches him ok?

And please tell him that I’m sorry…..

I really wish I could eat Peyoung Yakisoba with him again….

Even if it were just one last time….

Please look after my mom too ok? She doesn’t stop talking about you so I can tell she really likes you and though she always puts a strong face, she can get really sad sometimes she would really love it if u stopped by time and again just to say hello! I wish I didn’t make her cry back then….

And as for u guys,

PLEASE KICK OUT KISAKI FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME! HE IS A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT AND HE IS UP TO NO GOOD I TELL U!

Well that is if I don’t end up killing him tomorrow myself…

Apart from that….

Please be happy ok?

I would die for you guys in a heart beat…..

And in any life I'll always choose you guys.... Over and over again...

Please live on my behalf to the fullest!

Well then….

WISH ME BEST OF LUCK! IF THE FIGHT GOES WELL THEN I CAN GET TO STICK AROUND LONGER SOMEHOW! 

I really hope I can…. For just a little while longer….

From

Keisuke Baji 

[chifuyusgangshirt]

You know, I feel bad for Pah-Chin. While he was in juivie, Payan betrayed Toman and Draken got stabbed (he survived but still) even if Payan regrets. Baji died, Kazutora returned to juivie because he had stabbed Baji. Mikey's sister has been killed (and he was not here to support him). And then Mikey dissolved the gang and vanished after have pushed everyone away.

Uhhh a pah-chin ask, nice!

I feel bad for him too. He was such a good friend, always wanting the best for his loved ones.

Like I get why people don't talk about him as much, he isn't in the manga for most of the time and as much as it hurts me to say this, he's not exactly the typical handsome ikemen like the Haitani brothers or Mitsuya. Personally, I think he's cute but we have to be real here, that's a reason why people don't write or talk about him that much.

Not that I shame anyone here, I have my fair share of favorites I only like because of their looks too.

Anyway, Pah is a important character for me, not in the same sense as Mitsuya or Draken, but he was very close to the other founding members and especially to Mikey. As far as I know they were both kinda childhood friends too (if you count fighting each other as friendship in this manga, I guess it does)

He's involved in Mikey's dream future too, meaning he sees him as so important that he doesn't want to not have him with him.

After the Valhalla arc he was also still a toman executive, I think in the manila timeline too (?)

I don't think he feels guilty but probably sad and hates that he couldn't be there for his friends. He seems to be very emotional

But I'm happy that at least in the bonten timeline he got his perfect happy ending. I will be so mad if that changes, for real. He deserves yumi and his friends.

Can we agree that this was the happiest moment in tokyo revengers?

Funny that you mentioned kazutora by the way, because they were pretty close too according to the data book!

They both share a terrible shirt taste <3

How many of you knew his name is Haruki Hayashida?

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

Hiii!!! I love your headcanons :D and I wanted to ask if maybe you have hanmatora headcanons??? This ship is honestly underrated and I love it for how chaotic it could be😭

I remember this being the first tr ship I really got into! This is what I've got for them!

Hanma is one of the few people Kazutora truly trusts. He feels like he can properly be himself and say any thoughts to him. 

After awhile of their friendship, Kazutora was surprisingly the one to kiss Hanma first. Hanma was surprised since he didn't predict this but found himself liking it.

Toman (especially Baji and Mikey) hate this whole thing. Sure they're glad Kazutora is happy but did it have to be with him!?

Hanma absolutely adores how much this relationship annoys/ freaks out toman. Loves calling Kazutora pet names in front of them to tease them.

He also loves teasing Kazutora and seeing him blush 

Hanma and Kazutora's mum get along fairly well, Kazutora finds this out after finding the two of them happily chatting one morning after Hanma came to pick Kazutora up. 

Hanma can be a bit clingy with Kazutora and will lean on him, hug him, pat his head etc a lot. Kazutora (who's definitely touch starved) doesn't mind this.

Kazutora likes how often Hanma laughs at his jokes

On valentines day, Hanma runs up to Kazutora and teases him about if he made him any chocolates. He's shocked and actually very touched when Kazutora actually gives him some.

Kazutora is not against kissing Hanma to make him be quiet (especially when Kazutora's trying to concentrate on something)

Chifuyu has a "no Hanma" policy on the petshop but that doesn't stop Hanma from climbing in through the window in the back

They adopt a cat together 

Kazutora is not allowed to know the amount of cute pictures Hanma has snapped of him while he was unaware. (Hanma can't take the teasing he'll get)

Hanma has announced that him and Kazutora are engaged so many times as a prank (his favourite being the time Baji spat water all over Chifuyu) that they don't believe him when they actually do get engaged. 

Kazutora and Hanma are both as equally cuddly in bed, they end up in a tangle of limbs each morning.

TOKYO REVENGERS REACTIONS:

❤︎ 3rd time’s a charm: how they react to you rejecting their confession for the first time ❤︎

an; warnings none, mainly fluff; enjoy! *‧.₊˚*੭*ˊᵕˋ੭.*

Albeit perturbed by the reason you’ve turned him down, MIKEY — being the gentleman that he is, would invariably respect your wishes. Still, the resilient part constituting his personality refuses to give in, and he would try to win your heart over and over, no matter what he has to do.

Mikey would try and get to know more about your hobbies and life starting with baby steps. If he happens to find out that you have a liking for dorayaki just like him, he would buy you ALL of the confectionery you could ever ask for. Imagine 12 big boxes filled with dorayaki and huge bouquets of flowers showing up at your doorstep all of a sudden, with a blushing Mikey saying he’d like to take a step further in your friendship with him. Yep, that’s what you’ve signed up for honey.

DRAKEN, same as Mikey, would respect your choices no matter what; although deep inside, he is a tad hurt. Did you reject him because he’s a delinquent? Were you terrified because of how intimidating he looked? With that in mind, he is adamant on making you change your impression of him — and hopefully, steal your heart all over.

He would be your guardian angel from the shadows, helping you with anything as long as it is within his capabilities. Another thing Draken would do is to change his image for your sake; so whenever you are within his periphery, he would be prim and proper (plus trying hard to be cool LOL fr 🤣🤣) , trying to impress you as much as he could. Even his fellow friends in the gang are absolutely shocked with Ryuguji’s change. Oh, the power loving someone holds.

Oh PLEASE who would reject a sweetheart like him 😭😭💔 go and have your eyes checked thank you very much💀🖐. CHIFUYU is such a lovely person so I doubt anyone would reject home boy; but him being in love is like a classical romance trope — meeting the love of his life and falling head over heels for them instantly. He would try to smile and pretend the rejection doesn’t hurt, but poor boy is this close to having a breakdown. He just wants to love someone, is it that hard for a simple wish like this to come true?

Chifuyu wouldn’t be acting like his usual self for the next few weeks, and it is so painfully obvious that the rest of his friends in the gang get annoyed and remind him that being rejected for the first time isn’t the end of the world. It is only until then that home boy manages to get his shit together and decides to give it another shot. He would be a lot more chivalrous and gentle towards you, attempting to show you how serious he is about being in a relationship.

The blonde would write you little notes signed with smiley faces, reminding you to drink more water or wear an extra coat if the weather is getting chilly — not to mention that he would definitely be the type who would notice trivial details about you; knowing how you’d be hungry after the first three periods of lesson, Chifuyu would stuff snacks into your drawer. Also I imagine that he would be the type to gently persuade you on having the extra lunch box he ‘coincidentally’ prepared. Guy’s a total giver, shoot your shot sexies 🤩🖐😗🖐

MITSUYA would be slightly disheartened, but he understands your decision and has made up his mind to win you over with his skills and charm. You get cold easily during the weather? Say less because Mitsuya would knit a custom sweater just for you; forgot to pack your lunch because you left home in a hurry? For some reason he knows about it too and makes you a spare lunch, ensuring that you won’t starve through the rest of the day.

Like the rest, Mitsuya would also try to build up the relationship slowly whilst making sure you feel comfortable with all of this. He would be that one friend who’s always there for you through highs and lows, sharing your laughter and lending you a shoulder to cry on whenever you’re sad. Eventually, you’re touched by his selflessness and decides to give him a chance when Mitsuya confesses to you for the second time. He has never been more elated in his life.

Mf here is probably the type who’d bully the heck out of his crush just to spite them 💀🖐 giving you light smacks on the head or throwing paper planes at you during class are already the basics; Baji would tease you relentlessly every now and then until it starts to piss you off.

“Stop making fun of me!”

“Yeah yeah, whatever you say.”

Despite his teasing nature, Baji would make sure his insults won’t be crossing the line of basic respect since he doesn’t want to hurt your feelings. Being the sneaky type, I’d imagine he has the guts to say “I’ll stop teasing you, but only if you give me a kiss” like STOP RIGHT THERE 😳🖐 but okay he’s hot so I’m going to give him kisses anyway 😗. Through the incessant bickering, you’ve unknowingly grown to like Baji a bit more day by day — and eventually, accepting his confession out of defeat.

Kazutora is shocked to say the least; he has tried his best to look good in front of you, were you not swooned by his charms? He is not convinced at all, thinking that you also like him but are simply too shy to admit. When his friends tell him that you’ve stolen glances at him with your cheeks dusted in bright hues, it only reaffirms Kazutora’s belief — making him even more insistent on making you fall in love with him.

He’d court you like a proper gentleman, showing you the gentle side of him and hoping you’d fall for it. But if none of these works, his ultimate goal is to make you confess with a simple game of true or dare. As Kazutora scrutinises your face flushing a bright red tinge with one of the participants innocently asking whether you actually have a crush on him, a bright smile creases his face. Kazutora has finally got his long-awaited answer.

“I ... damn it, I like Kazutora!”

“The feeling is mutual, y/n ~”

[ultrastarbee]

For your sixth month anniversary, Kazutora wanted to make something special because he knows that he’ll go back to juvie and wont be out for a long time. So he asks Mitsuya for help. He asked if he could teach him how to make a small tiger plush toy. Kazutora thought it would be easy but no- this boy is no hope and Mitsuya was fed up. But after persistence (and a whole 2 weeks), he was able to make a decent, huggable tiger plushie that he gave to reader so that they can have something to kiss, hug and talk to in place of kazutora while he was gone.

-🎀 im brainrotting kazutora so bad. hes just a small tiger :( and the manga barely showed kazutora and mitsuya’s friendship even if they were both founding members. i’m here to change that

My beloved 🎀, I share the brainrot with you. He's just too cute and deserves more love. SO LET'S GIVE HIM MORE LOVE!

Title: Striped plushie Request: YES Couple: Kazutora x reader Category: fluffy Content Warning: Word Count: 484 Summary: Kazutora knows he may get arrested again, so before Bloody Halloween he works on making you a present A/N: this is too cute omg your requests are so light I love them. I changed it a little while writing, sorry I didn’t even noticed

MASTERLIST ....... RULES ....... SERIES LIST

Before setting the fight between Toman and Valhalla Kazutora had somethings he still wanted to do before risking everything against Mikey. And each one of those things had to do with you. Kazutora knew he would be arrested again after killing Mikey and he was ready for that, but first your boyfriend needed to make you happier than ever. You already stayed two years apart and now Kazutora will go away again. He needs to make up to you so you don't leave him as everyone else.

First he went to Mitsuya, who was a little surprised to see him, but welcomed Kazutora as a good friend. They had fun for a while and then Kazutora asked his old friend for some help. Showing Mitsuya a child book Kazutora smiled.

"You want me to make one?" Mitsuya frowns a little confused looking at the book. It's a plush toy of a tiger.

"No! I want you to teach me how to make one"

"Why?"

"I need it"

That's how it started. Mitsuya made some drawings to get a better idea of the plush toy Kazutora wanted so much. They choosed the fabric for the body and the buttons for the eyes together, made the cuts and also choosed the sewing thread color. That was the easy part. Even with Mitsuya telling him it was harder than it looked, Kazutora was excited. He wanted to give you something cute. Something special to remind you of him. Something that looked like him. Something you could hug when you missed him.

But there's no hope for Kazutora. All his fingers ended up bleeding a little. Mitsuya never saw someone so bad at sewing. But Kazutora tough, he won't let some pierced fingers stop him. It took him two whole weeks, but Kazutora did it. He finished your present.

He hugs Mitsuya and shakes him a little, soon leaving to find you. It's night and you are already on your pajamas when he arrives at your house. Kazutora doesn't give a sigle fuck about your parents being home and enter through you bedroom window.

Kazutora's face is all red when he hugs and kisses you after handing you the plushie.

"You made me a little tiger? Just like you?" you are so happy snuggling against the plushie.

"I did!" Kazutora's voice is so excited just to see your smile, but he ends up taking the present and trowing it on your bed "But it's for when I'm not around! And I'm here now, so hold me now!"

You laugh, take him into your arms and kiss every single one of his fingers now covered with bandages. You are sure you can hear Kazutora purr on your neck.

He never told you why he would not be around, but you thought it was just a way of speeking. You couldn't even dream about the blood bath yet to come.

☆ — MY FAVORITE TOKYO REVENGERS CHARACTERS AS MY FAVORITE TROPES.

FEATURING. mitsuya, baji, kazutora, mikey and shinichiro

TAGS. fluff, slight mention of violence, mentions of being intoxicated, a little angst in mitsuya and mikey's part. umm I think that's all, lemme know if I missed anything

NOTE. some of these might not actually be tropes.. I don't know lol but you get the gist. first Tokyo rev work, hope you like it 😉 I'll probably do a part two bc I still have some favorite characters of mine. reblogs are appreciated <33

@souco <3333

☆ — mitsuya takes a hold of the brother's best friend to lovers trope. well, not exactly lovers...mitsuya's convinced that he'll never see you in that way. your heart cracks a little when those words leave his lips. and it practically crumbles into fine dust when he adds on with an I see you as a sister, lavender eyes shine with sympathy upon seeing your clenched fists. you fight with everything in you to keep the tears at bay but it's all in vain. embarrassingly, little sobs wrack your body. mitsuya, the cause of your pain, pulls you into a hug and whispers apologies. you should push him away. use your legs to turn and run, collapse into your pillow and cry till the sun comes up but you find yourself melting into his chest. he smells of what you've grown to love because of him, like baked goods and faint lavender. it's all ironic really, his actions are just making you fall harder, feelings expanding dangerously so. but now you know, there can't possibly be any hope for him to recuperate.

☆ — baji undoubtedly takes the enemies to lovers trope with his backhanded compliments and stolen glances. you’ve always hated his snarky remarks but you absolutely loathed the grin he wore whenever he finished his statements —annoyingly attractive fangs and all. when that happens, his eyes are always searching for your reaction, lingering for a second too long on your lips. you always catch it though, curious eyes lock with his but he plays it off with yet again, a smug grin. one that you'd oh, so dearly would love to wipe off. but despite your irritated chides, a huge jubilee rings through your mind. of course, you don’t act on it. you’d rather string him along until he cracks; that's something (you at least think) an enemy would do.

☆ — kazutora embodies the forbidden lover trope fresh out of juvenile detention. your parents don't have a single ounce of respect for the boy you've grown to love but (no matter how cliché it sounds) they don't know him as you do. they don’t know the layers of affection that shine when you’re with him. they don’t see the pretty magnolias nor the poorly written (he tries his best, you can tell) love letters he leaves on your window sill. they don’t know that kazutora is breath of fresh air; inhales, and exhales of pure adoration. they don’t know of the nights where he’s just a vulnerable boy again, in your arms, nothing but a person of shaky breath and clammy skin when nightmares take him as claim. they don’t know him because they don’t care to. but in hindsight, you don’t really mind because kazutora is an enigma you only wish to piece together and see.

☆ — mikey seizes the childhood best friends to lovers trope completely. you've always admired him from afar. you've admired his strength, his ability to weave friendship & loyalty together so easily. he's unyielding and stubborn at times, acts like a child for the rest. it's all endearing, everything he does is. he doesn't let you get involved with toman at all, sometimes he acts like you don't exist and it hurts but you understand. you understand the life he's chosen, how much it's shaped him for better or for worse. and you desperately want to see the world he crafts, his new age. you're always their as support. when he fights, you're bandaging his wounds. when he gets into arguments with draken or whosoever, you give him advice. when he's lost, his mind to entrapped with dark, abyssal thoughts, you're there to erase them. the thing is mikey knows. he sees the way your heart wishes to merge with his through the look in your eyes; how they shine bright whenever he's around. even if it doesn't seem like it, he feels the same way. but mikey has never learned to do things for his own good.

☆ — shinichiro i think takes the roommates to lovers trope, he's the roommate you gush over to your friends. to them, he's the boy who knows how to fix motorcycles and smokes. they're tired of hearing your sighs and fears of confessing. your heart always gets stuck in your throat when they tell you that it's time to face your fears or there's nothing to lose. but they don't really understand, what if you lost the morning talks with him, the rushed, late night trips to restock on food supplies, the intoxicated giggles at night after a grueling lecture? all ruined by admitting how long you've pined over him. but when you think hard enough, you can remember the way his hands had brushed over your waist when he passed by or how he's always volunteering to make you breakfast, lunch and dinner. or how he memorizes your schedule and sets an alarm for you both. or how — when he thinks your fast asleep — plants a light kiss on your forehead when you collapse on the living room couch. yeah, your friend nods as you spill everything, you really do need to confess.

Wouldn’t mind

Pairing: Kazutora x fem!reader, past Baji x fem!reader

Hurt/comfort

Author note: This is my way of dealing with Baji’s death finally being animated, this is me comforting myself so I don’t keep crying.

Also, I posted this on AO3 as well:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/33561445

Part of the reason you decided to get close to him was kind of the same reason why you decided to help out Chifuyu and the remaining founding Toman members in any way you could; even if that meant putting yourself in various fights. It was a way to honor his memory.

You met Baji Keisuke; your Kei; as nothing more than a child because you were neighbors and your mom happened to be friends with his mother which ended in them arranging lots of playdates for you both ever since you could remember.

Your mothers always said you were meant to be and they were right, so yeah, they were delighted once you two finally stopped denying yourselves and started to date.

You two got together after one time in which Baji got into a particularly bad fight and you found him on your way home; his hands all bruised but despite how much they must have been hurting he was smiling in that unique way of his that always told you that no matter the pain he won and enjoyed himself.

To be honest you didn’t like that he always got into fights nor how reckless he could be but you had to admit that there was always something about the way his eyes glinted that drew you in.

You dragged him inside your home, knowing that his mother would flip out if she saw him and taking advantage of the fact that your mother was to get home late, you pushed him to the couch, went to the kitchen for a bag of frozen vegetables, grabbed his hand after cleaning the blood off and held the bag to his knuckles hoping that it would bring down the swelling.

There was no way of knowing who made the first move but next thing you knew after that was that you two were kissing; the frozen bag laying on the floor long forgotten. After that you finally acknowledged your feelings and started dating. There was no grand gesture, it was just one of many moments that you shared daily yet it was perfect.

Baji liked to keep you away from Toman businesses so for the most part you didn’t actually know the rest of the members except for Chifuyu; whom you met on various occasions while going to visit your boyfriend; and Mikey that you met as a child since you were always following around Baji and in a way became your friend too; but that was it. He kept that apart from the side of his life that involved you because he was well aware of how messy it could get and he didn’t want to drag you into any trouble.

Yet his gang life caught up to him, crashing into your world and pushing you into a lonely abyss that still to this day left a hole in your chest.

You’d always remember that dreaded day when your mother came home later than usual without letting you know anything, eyes teary and red rimmed. The moment she looked at you, she pulled you into a strong hug and sobbed as she caressed your hair murmuring a string of words you couldn’t really make out.

She was the one to deliver the news of his passing, how she was late because she was at the Baji household and had to accompany his mother to claim her son’s body after the woman received a call from the police station telling her that the boy had been stabbed and bled to death.

The day would never come when you’d forget the pain that shot through your body as you learned that he was gone. It hurt unlike anything else you have ever experienced, as if someone was crushing your chest like it was made out of paper, air knocked out of your lungs and the only thing you could do was scream helplessly his name as you held for dear life onto your mother’s frame. You felt bile rise up your throat so fast that it was a miracle that you didn’t throw up.

His funeral wasn’t any easier. Not when you arrived and his mom pulled you to his casket saying just how handsome he looked, inviting you to see him in a way that you couldn’t refuse.

Around an hour after yourself, arrived Chifuyu who went to you after giving his condolences to his best friend’s mother that held him the way she used to hold her boy but now she’d never get the chance to do anymore.

If you were being completely honest, you couldn’t remember much more of that day, your mind was hazy, too many gaps in the memory of all that transpired.

Only two things were clear as day in your mind. First was the way that Kei had looked inside that coffin smiling peacefully and for a moment you almost fooled yourself into thinking that he was just sleeping, but he was pale, his canines weren’t showing and his eyes were slightly sunken but you had to agree with his mom because he looked handsome indeed. The second was that Chifuyu stayed by your side throughout the whole thing, in fact he was the one who told you what actually happened and you were thankful for it all.

He told you what Baji did and why he did it and you believed it the second the words left his mouth because you knew him well and if there was anything that defined your beloved boyfriend was his heart, how willing he was to give anything for those that he cared about; his unwavering loyalty; you just wished he hadn’t put himself on the line for that.

Twelve years have passed and a lot of things changed since his parting, for starters you became a member of Toman.

One night; around a month after everything happened; you went to the Musashi temple fully aware that it was the place that the boys used as their base and in front of everyone gathered there; bracing yourself; you walked towards Mikey, bowed deeply and begged for him to accept you as a member.

At first most of the guys there laughed at you while others frowned and called you names shooing you away but you stayed still, that was until a big hand grabbed you by the arm and that was when you pulled away from it and punched the guy square in the nose remembering the time Baji taught you how to pack a punch. The guy tried to send a blow towards you but was stopped by Chifuyu yet the whole commotion came to a halt with Mikey’s commanding voice.

“Y/N, you know this is a guys-only gang”

“I’m aware, Mikey, but” you clenched your fists “but Keisuke cared about this gang so I feel like I must join, to protect everything he fought for” you raised your head “he also taught me how to fight so you don’t have to worry about me being a burden on you and I know a few things about first aid, I can carry my own weight” you were thankful for your mother being a nurse and having taught you a bit.

He stared at you, his eyes giving away nothing.

“The first division can take her in” Chifuyu supplied.

Mikey raised a brow and looked at another blonde guy.

“Takemitchy, you are the first division’s captain, do you agree to take her?” the guy straightened up and after sharing one look with Chifuyu he nodded.

An uproar started as a lot of guys started to complain about how bad of an idea it was to admit a girl in the gang but Draken stopped them with one word.

Mikey looked at you once more, then he sighed and nodded.

“Then welcome, Y/N L/N, from now on you are a member of the Tokyo Manji Gang under the first division”.

Later that day you gave your thanks to Chifuyu and Takemichi, for getting behind you and promised to help them in any way possible but Chifuyu made you promise to be safe and only join them as a last resource because he couldn’t allow Baji’s girlfriend to get hurt since he promised him he’d take care of you.

You knew that your parents wouldn’t be happy with you being a part of a gang but you had to do it, it was a way to stay close to Kei and you needed that or else you would have gone crazy, you were also thankful because life had it that you were assigned to the division that used to be his.

Shit happened but you always took things head on and you had to admit that Chifuyu and Takemichi played a crucial part in you surviving all the crappy things that happened until the gang disbanded. While still a member you were extremely grateful for makeup since it helped you hide from your parents a good amount of nasty bruises that came from the fights.

The second thing that changed was that you moved out of your parents’ house from the moment you started college and although at first it was hard and you were living in a tiny apartment that resembled more to a matchbox yet it was the only thing you could afford at the moment with the part time job you had but you were decided to not return home, not because you weren’t comfortable with them but because they were already doing too much for you by paying for your studies so you didn’t want them to be spending any more money on you.

You managed and after a while you got a better job that meant a higher pay grade and you moved out of your tiny place to your current one that was bigger and just a couple of minutes away from the cemetery where the Baji family grave was.

Even when you had exams due the next day, even when you were way too busy, you still made it a habit to go visit him daily, it didn’t matter if you had to walk for long or that you were so tired you could have fallen asleep while standing, you still went to see him.

Your mother told you once that maybe you should let go, that he wouldn’t like to have you clinging to him this much and to appease her you went to a couple of dates once every three months but you never made it past the first date but funnily enough that landed you a few long lasting friendships with some of the guys you tried to date.

One time his mom talked to you and told you just how grateful she was with you for loving her son the way you did but that you didn’t owe him anything, that you could move on because she was sure that was what he would have wanted and maybe she was right; to hell you knew that she was; but it wasn’t a matter of you feeling like you owed devotion to him but more like no one ever compared to him, not a single person awoke in you the same feelings he did, not with the same intensity it was kind of like a beautiful curse because you grieved daily his absence but you wouldn’t want it other way, even if you went back and told yourself that by loving him you’d end up in pain, you’d still go through it all because the time spent with him was worth it and you told her that so she smiled and even talked with your mother making her stop begging you to date and leave you to your own devices.

Another thing that changed was you because you cut your hair really short; yet without needing it you still wore a hair tie on your wrist daily as if it was some sort of amulet because it reminded you of him.

Also, with the bigger place you adopted three beautiful cats that you loved dearly, first there was Blue; whose black hair shone blue under certain light hence his name; then there was Leo; an orange tabby cat you found one day and adopted instantly; and Jin; a maine coon that was your appointed guardian and didn’t like anyone around you nor him.

The three always slept with you; which made you thankful for getting a big bed when you first moved; and in a way they made your life less lonely because in their presence you felt as if Keisuke was right there with you which made sense because you two had made plans about living together once highschool was over and then adopt a ton of cats, all the cats your parents never allowed in the house when you were younger.

Of course things don’t always end up the way we plan them, you knew that better than most although to be completely honest you never expected Kazutora to come into the picture.

You new who he was, on one occasion Kei told you that him speaking on his behalf and taking the full blame for what happened with Mikey’s older brother was a big factor on him staying out of juvie so in a way you were thankful to him but you also knew; through Chifuyu’s retelling; what happened on that horrible halloween when you lost your whole world.

Even when you knew that everything had been planned out by Kisaki, for the longest time you were resentful towards Kazutora, even going as far as to curse his sole existence because hadn’t it been for him then your Keisuke would surely still be with you. It took you years for you to come to terms with everything and accept that Baji chose to leave all because he cared about that boy way too much.

You came to realize that by hating Kazutora, by wishing him the worst and spending so much energy in resenting him you were betraying Kei’s wishes.

His final will was to keep Toman’s funding members; Kazutora included; safe, he chose death, going down as a villain to his friends, all just to protect them, to save him so the least you could do was carry on his wishes and look after them, not only after Chifuyu and the others but you also felt the moral obligation towards Keisuke, to welcome Kazutora and help him back into his life.

Now, you went to help around Chifuyu and Kazutora’s shop, fully aware that it was their way of honoring his memory, by living out the dream he never had the chance for.

You could understand them because everyday you did the same, hell, you even went to study veterinary because that had been the plan all those years back; he was supposed to open his pet shop and you were supposed to be the one to tend to the animals, he always said that you had the best shot because you usually did rather good at school.

You met Kazutora the day after Chifuyu picked him up from prison. You already knew that he would be joining you two for lunch the following day because he told you in advance in case you weren’t ready to meet the man that had played a big part in your old boyfriend’s death.

Chifuyu by that point had become your best friend in the world, your constant support. What started as a way to cope with Baji’s loss, as both of you searching in the other for any vestiges of his existence with the passing of the years turned into something more, a fraternal bond forged through shared grief.

Chifuyu was like a brother to you and you knew that he saw you as a sister, you cared about him deeply.

If you were being completely honest, you were a bit torn when a month prior to the release, he announced to you that he’d be picking up the guy and was planning on welcoming him as a roommate and as an extra hand at the shop; that is if the other accepted. I mean, you’d have to be crazy to just accept it as it was, no questions asked because whether manipulated and messed up in the head, it didn’t change the fact that he was the one to stab him.

Of course you knew it hadn’t been easy for him to reach that, it was obvious that he had thought it through, you could see in his eyes just how much went into making that decision but that he was sure that that was Baji would have liked and you knew that as well because that was the type of person Keisuke used to be, a bit rough on the edges but so caring and willing to give for those he loved, and he sure as hell had proven how much he cared about the guy.

You had never talked to him, what little you knew about him was what Baji had mentioned all those years back when he almost went to prison and what Chifuyu told you, how he was getting the help he needed and seemed to be making progress but that was it.

To say it was awkward at first was a big understatement. He was extremely quiet and even after you greeted him he refused to make eye contact while you kept fidgeting in place trying to come up with something to say. Thank god for Chifuyu since he was the one to introduce you although he could have been a bit more careful when he introduced you as Baji’s old girlfriend, although you couldn’t blame him because there was no way around it, that was what you were.

The moment he understood who you were he froze, eyes focusing on his hands under the table. You noticed how uneasy he became and with a look you asked Chifuyu to give you a minute, thankfully he understood and trusting you excused himself from the table.

You reached out, stilling your hand in the middle of the space between you when you saw him flinch, something that reminded you of the time when you encountered Leo for the first time; hurt and scared. Kazutora in a way resembled him, something lonely and broken about him that gave you the final push to get close.

Just like you did way back for Leo you extended your open hand towards him, facing upwards to show him that you had no ill intentions and you rested your hand on the table just a few centimeters away from his arm, not wanting to startle him but wanting to show him that you were trying to get close.

“I don’t hate you, Hanemiya-kun”

His gaze zeroed on your hand and then eyes of the color of the lightest brown you’ve ever seen; almost the same shade as amber; met yours wary and trembling but you simply nodded confirming that you were being completely honest.

“Why?” his voice came out broken.

“Because Keisuke cared about you” you smiled, feeling your eyes get watery and Kazutora’s face became blurry due to the tears.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I- I wish I could take it all back, I really do, I...” you heard the words come out cracked and you shook your head and reached for his arm.

“I know...it’s fine. Like I said, I don’t hate you, it’s been a while since that happened and I’ve made up my mind, I’ve already accepted it as part of life” that’s a lie and you know, you miss him every day so much that you still cling to the little things he left behind, that’s the reason why you haven’t been in a relationship after him.

You quickly wiped the tears out of your eyes and looked at him once more. “I’d like to be there for you, maybe be friends even, that is if you’d like that”

Kazutora’s mind was running laps. Was he hearing you correctly? Did you actually say that you wanted to be friends with him? Be friends with the guy that killed your boyfriend nonetheless. He couldn’t wrap his head around that thought, it was simply impossible, he was a villain, a rotten fruit that nobody had ever liked and that poisoned the only good things he had in his life, why would anyone want to be near him?

First there was Chifuyu; who for all he could gather used to consider Baji as his best friend; welcoming him into his apartment, offering him a place to stay and even a job no questions asked, that was already hard to understand, but now having you willing to welcome him? That was almost ridiculous because you surely knew, he saw the way you interacted with Chifuyu, there was no way in hell he didn’t tell you, so why?

Why were you being kind to him? So gentle? Why couldn’t you just scream and curse him? Heaven knows for how long he has been cursing himself, regretting everything he did, from Shinichiro to Baji. He deserved to be yelled at, to be shunned away from society, he was deserving of pain and should be tossed to the abyss of loneliness, forever in the dark, far away from the sun.

He couldn’t fathom why on God's name was Baji’s girlfriend in front of him extending her delicate hand towards him. But even when he couldn’t understand he wanted to accept it. He knew he deserved nothing given how he had taken two lives but he wanted the embrace so badly.

He wanted company, friends, he didn’t want to be forever an outcast due to his bad decisions but instead he wanted to belong, to feel some sort of comfort, he wanted to bask in the sun’s warmth and for once in a very long time feel a bit of peace, he wanted saving, someone to tell him he was worthy even when he knew he wasn’t.

He looked at you once more, and something felt warm inside his chest; even his throat tightening; when he saw that you were still smiling gently at him despite the rebel tears that had escaped from your eyes.

“I’d like that” he smiled wobbly. “Also, Kazutora is fine”

“Then let’s be friends, Kazutora-kun” your smile grew broader and that was the start.

Surprisingly after that, it didn’t take long for you to grow comfortable with each other. He was quiet and would often be found spacing off but he was considerate towards you, actually he returned the same kindness you gave him, although it was evident that he was still wary and a bit rough on the edges he tried hard and you could see, so whenever he was having a bad mood you tried not to take it personally.

Through gentle words and patience, you won him over, even those around you were surprised at how quickly he warmed up to you but there was just something in him that pulled you, maybe that same thing that pushed you to adopt Leo when you found him malnourished and hurt on your way home from the cemetery or maybe it was something else.

Just as he warmed up to you, you warmed up to him. It was easy to talk to him, he was always willing to lend you an attentive ear, listening to your ramblings about the monotonous things that happened at the clinic, it didn’t matter that he knew nothing about the people you mentioned, he always listened like it was the most important thing in the world.

At first your interactions were always in company of Chifuyu, mostly at the shop while you went to visit which actually ended in you helping around to organize the merchandise or on the usual checkups on the animals to ensure that they were in the utmost condition for the moment someone decided to welcome them into their home.

Then, Kazutora started to walk you to the station but slowly that turned into him accompanying you all the way home and since he was taking the time to go with you you started offering him a cup of tea at your house before he’d leave again to get back to his and Chifuyu’s place.

That wasn’t the end of it because one cup of tea turned into two, then three and finally what started as a thanks for the inconvenience turned into hours-long talks about the most menial things just because.

Your cats loved him; Blue was always rubbing himself against his legs while Leo wasted no time to go lay on his legs and with a meow demand to be petted at the moment; but the most amazing thing of all was that Jin didn’t hate him, in fact he got way too comfortable with him which was a thing that you’d never seen, the only other person besides yourself that he liked was Hina, hell, not even Chifuyu had been able to charm the bigger cat and now apparently he didn’t mind Kazutora trailing behind you when even up to that day whenever he was visiting Chifuyu would get a growl from Jin but not Kazutora.

He was nice to your babies, he liked them and you could see that he didn’t change his demeanour towards them even when he thought you weren’t looking, in fact his voice got softer when directed at them and you were also the kind of person that trusted animal’s perception so the fact that your beloved cats liked him really told you that he had changed from what little you knew about his ways before being sent to prison after Baji’s death.

Kazutora started noticing the little things about you, for starters the way you’d always be singing a random thing off tune but with such energy that it was amusing but when asked he’d swear on his life that he wasn’t bothered that he actually liked it even though you knew very well that you weren’t a good singer but the opposite yet there was something powerful about having him joining in the middle of your singing, even when he didn’t know the lyrics he’d be humming along.

You were a sight to behold for him because in all the mess of his life he had never encountered someone as lively as yourself. Even after losing Baji you tried your best, you were determined and hardworking and so kind, not only to him but to every living thing no matter if they were animals, people or even plants, you amazed him because you were always so willing to be gentle to anyone.

You were a soothing presence.

That was not to say you didn’t have your bad days, after all you were only human and it was simply impossible to be at one hundred percent everyday the whole day, but you pushed through and you were always quick to ask for forgiveness if you had an outburst towards someone, you were the kind to not withhold apologies even when you weren’t at fault. He could remember a handful of times in which you apologized when he was the one to step on your toes.

You, of all people apologized to him, a social reject, a vermin, you apologized to him as if he was worthy, as if that was the logical thing to do but he knew that no matter what you did he knew that he was the one that still owed you a lifetime of apologies.

He wasn’t an idiot, he knew how much Baji meant to you even to that day, he noticed the little pieces of him lingering in your everyday, like how you always wore a hair tie around your wrist even when your hair was way too short for you to ever need it and whenever you had to get your bangs out of your face you used hair clips, never the tie on your wrist, the way you always cracked your knuckles as if getting ready for a fight even if you were only checking the animals and the way you carried yourself in a way resembled the way Baji used to.

He never told you but a few times he found you at the cemetery by coincidence while visiting Baji and there was something heartbreaking about seeing you kneeling on the ground with trembling shoulders despite it being a hot day. He regretted what he did, not only because he felt guilty or ‘cause he missed his friend but also for your sake because he wanted to see your happy smile, he never wanted to hear your cries ever again.

Just like him, you started seeking his company more and more, not only were you inviting him to stay and talk after walking you home but you made plans with him and just him, to go window shopping, for a cup of coffee, lunch dates, movie premieres; because you liked going to the movies so much and discovered that he was an enthusiast as much as you; movies on the couch, even just lazy sundays at your house playing the entire day with your cats.

Of course reaching this state was quick yet slow, it was hard to explain, like you were close to him and enjoyed his company, but it was different than it was with Hina or even Chifuyu yet you wouldn’t call it romantic, not at first.

Sure, there was something to Kazutora, you weren’t blind so you could see clear as day that he was rather handsome, probably one of the prettiest guys you’d ever met but there was something more, something that pulled you, something broken and lonely that tugged at your heart and told you to care for him.

At such a young age he had been to prison on two occasions and you could actually see that that was simply the tip of the iceberg. He had to mature too soon, he mentioned vaguely that his relation with his parents wasn’t the best and his eyes at times looked older than he actually was, plus it took a long time for him to get used to your affectionate ways because your love-language was physical touch. You had a special fascination with hair and all of your friends were used to that but Kazutora was like a kicked puppy that was only learning to trust in people once more.

You were a new breeze of air into his life, with your caring ways and funny nature he fell. For the first time in his life he had someone like you, at first it was difficult for him to realize that the fuzzy feeling inside his gut whenever he looked at you or even heard your voice meant what people called love but it was a given because he had never felt that way before.

For the longest time he felt like love was a lie, he remembered how bad his home life was, how strained and full of pain the things between his parents were, even now from time to time he had nightmares of his mother crying as his father hit her and then her begging him; only a child; to pick sides.

He wanted to hold you close, to keep you away from harm and to listen to your laugh for days on end, for once his heartbeat quickened for someone, he found a safe place in your presence, you were an oasis after years roaming the desert. You were such an unusual kind of certainty in his life that he never had but that he had searched for so long.

While Kazutora realized rather quickly; in comparison to you; that you had wormed your way into his heart making a home for you it took you around three years and others pointing it out for you to actually realize that he meant to you more than a friend.

The first one was your mother although not as subtly but rather by saying that she was happy that you were now with Kazutora which took you by surprise because you weren’t.

That wasn’t the end of it, but only the beginning.

The next one was Hina one day you were sleeping over at her house, but the cherry on top was Chifuyu.

“Hey, I know it’s not really my business, but when are you going to get together?” he asked one time when you went out for coffee.

“What?” you asked mindlessly, stirring some sugar into your beverage.

“Yeah, you’re kind of driving me crazy, it’s kind of annoying feeling like a third-wheel without actually being one, just get it over with” he spoke before taking a sip from his own cup.

“What?” you snapped your head back to him.

“Is that the only thing you’re gonna say?” he looked at you through half-lidded eyes.

“Yes, because I honestly don’t understand a single thing of what you’re saying” you shook your head and took a sip from your coffee.

“What I’m saying is that it’s obvious that you like Kazutora” he said matter-of-factly.

“Of course I like him, he’s my friend, I like you too”.

“No, you don’t, you like me as your friend but you like Kazutora in a different way, a lovey-dovey way” he deadpanned.

“No, Kei-” you began just like you did whenever your mother used to bring up your love life or thereof lack of it.

“Baji-san has been gone for years already” he cut you, wincing as he said that and to you his words felt like a slap across your face.

“Look, I know, trust me, I do, but it’s been long enough and if there is someone that makes you feel good you should go for it, he wouldn’t want you being unhappy for him” he sighed and with a hand pushed his hair back.

“He asked me to take care of you because he wanted you to be alright, he wanted you to be happy and he’d probably punch me if I simply stood by and watched you being miserable” he pushed his cup to the side, leaned over the table to grab you by the shoulders and looked into your eyes seriously.

“I know you like him, don’t be an idiot, it’s painfully obvious with how you look at him and spend almost all of your free time with him, Baji-san won’t be mad at you for finding someone new and I believe that he’d be happy that it is Kazutora of all people”.

Before you could respond to that, the sound of a new message cut you off and when you looked sideways to your phone on the table, a soft smile graced your lips when Kazutora’s name appeared on the screen. Without thinking you opened it and it was some random video of a kitten; somewhere along the way it became a thing between you and it reminded you of how Keisuke used to send you daily pictures of the cats that went to his house.

“It’s Kazutora, right?” Your face grew hot once you came back to reality, remembering suddenly with whom you were and what you were talking about.

��I’ll let you be, but don’t be an idiot and let yourself be happy” and just like that Chifuyu ended that conversation and quickly changed topics.

You knew you liked him, you felt warm whenever he was around you, his voice soothed you even on the worst of days and you looked forward to his messages. You had learned to find comfort in his eyes but they were a wrong shade; not brown enough.

He wasn’t Keisuke. He’d never be.

A few days later you found yourself in the shop, helping around but constantly sending glances in his direction, his back facing towards you, looking painfully similar to Kei’s even down to the hair length, although the color wasn’t the right match with it’s blonde streaks you could still fool yourself into thinking it was him.

But then he’d turn to look at you and send a smile your way and there would be a beauty mark under golden eyes and a tiger tattoo where it shouldn’t have been and that smile was lacking a pair of prominent incisives peeking through.

You knew it was wrong to look at him searching for Keisuke, searching for your lost love in another, clinging to the remnants of his passing through the world but you missed him so much.

At times you felt like you couldn’t even breathe, you had even fallen asleep in front of his family grave after a long day if you went to visit at dawn after not being able to make it at morning but you had to visit him daily in order to feel in his company because if you ever thought of skipping a lump appeared in your chest crushing your heart.

Yet, even then, even when you realized it wasn’t Baji your heart would skip a bit and your stomach would twist.

Later that night you found yourself walking home with Kazutora by your side in complete but comfortable silence, feeling the warmth oozing from his arm that was left hanging at his side lightly brushing against yours, rising even the tiniest hair of your arm.

Kazutora had been going at it over and over for months. At first, when he realized what he felt for you he decided to bury it deep and forever carry it in silence but as time went on he craved your presence.

He started wishing for more, more smiles, those smiles to be only for him, he even found himself looking forward to getting hurt while playing with your cats because it meant that you would be cleaning up his hands and putting on a band-aid with the utmost care and attention even if they were the most insignificant scratches ever.

He liked having your attention, he liked that you replied to any message from him almost immediately; unless you were attending to a patient then you’d reply as soon as possible; he also liked how your eyes would get bigger whenever something amazed you or if you found something even remotely cute.

Your constant ramblings plagued his mind at every hour no matter if he was asleep. Hell, he even went to Baji’s grave to ask for permission to love you, even if he did so in silence he felt like he owed that much to his old friend because you were his girl after all.

Why did it have to be you? Why Baji’s? Why did you have to come into his life and be like the sun? You were too much for him, too perfect, too good while he was nothing but a mess, too fucked up, too far away from repair. For fuck’s sake, he was the one that took your boyfriend away, he would have been better off handling your hate but instead you were there giving him so much it almost pained him, only adding up to his guilt.

This had to be some sick game of the universe. God must have been having the time of his life laughing at how the killer fell in love with the victim’s old love.

Before any of you knew, you had already gotten home and like it became custom you invited him inside for a cup of tea.

As soon as you opened the door, your three babies rushed to the entryway to greet you, Jin being the very first, you hadn’t taken two steps inside when he was already brushing himself against your legs. The other two weren’t too far but to your disappointment Leo approached Kazutora before even looking at you.

“I’ll stop bringing you here, you’re stealing them away from me” you pouted while kneeling down to hug Jin who looked at Kazutora with no distaste, then you picked up Blue and let him nuzzle your neck, after that still holding him you went to rub Leo with your free hand once he finally took notice of you and remembered who bought him food and toys.

Kazutora’s hearty laugh filled your ears pulling your mouth from the pout into a smile.

“Leo knows who’s the cool one” he winked your way. “I’m kidding, he likes you more” he looked down at said cat “right pal? Isn’t your mom the absolute best?”

“Oh, shut up, flattery won’t take you anywhere” You felt blood rushing to your face so you stood up hiding your reddening face into Blue’s fur.

You hurried to the kitchen and then, out of his sight was when you put Blue down and started to boil some water, hearing over it as the door closed and seconds later Kazutora appeared with the other two trailing behind.

You ended up splayed on the bigger couch in your living room, your back leaning against his side while Jin laid on top of your legs while in Kazutora’s rested the other two cats. At that moment you were with your eyes closed, mindlessly caressing Jin while you listened to Kazutora talk to your cats in a baby voice that you wouldn’t have expected from him the first time you met.

For him it wasn’t easy to keep his cool, he had to school his face even if you weren’t looking at him and oh, his heart was so loud it was about to jump out of his chest and he wouldn’t mind but he didn’t want you to listen.

I’m sorry Baji.

A  meow of protest fell on deaf ears since he had stopped caressing Leo and Blue, instead turning his full attention towards you.

You turned your head and suddenly you found yourself way too close to his face; so much you could’ve counted every single of his lashes; staring up at a pair of golden eyes that were looking at you and only you as if you had been the one to hang up the stars in the sky.

His features were delicate, so beautiful it was heartstopping, he looked almost otherworldly; and not only because the ghost of Baji’s face lingered in his in a particular way; but there was a certain glimmer in his eyes that you had been noticing from a few days leading to that one, only that then it shined brighter than ever.

Unbeknownst to you, your eyes were reflecting Kazutora’s shine and your heart was beating to the same tempo as his starting up a melody of their own with your breathing getting caught up in your lungs making up the rhythm accompanying your song.

You were being drawn into each other like opposite poles of a magnet, barely any resistance was there and soon enough you met in the middle. At first it was the softest brush; like when you first dip your toe before jumping into the water; but it started a whole revolution inside both.

The brush became a second and then your lips were pressing against each other, basking in the warmth that radiated off that single contact that sparked a bunch of reactions at the same time. Your heart went off, your lungs closed; forgetting for that moment that they needed air and not that man to keep kissing you; and for the briefest moment your mind stopped thinking about Baji.

Kazutora was ready to die, if he was sent to hell at that very moment he’d be glad because at least he got a taste of heaven and it was more than enough. He decided then and there that he was bound to be cursed because how did a monster like him manage to get a kiss from an angel such as yourself? It must have been a sin for something so tainted to even look your way.

He didn’t know when your hand placed itself on the side of his neck but he knew that he was yours, if there was any doubt of that up until that point, it vanished with the way you were gently caressing his tattoo as if you were tracing it by memory, as if you had paid close attention to him, as if he mattered, as if he was something more than a broken thing.

Something inside you moved when a whimper escaped his lips the first time you pulled away for a mere second in order to get air before going in once more, this time ready to open your mouth and let him take while you explored. It felt nice, new; which was to be expected since the last time you had kissed someone this way had been with Baji.

Keisuke.

You opened your eyes and suddenly pulled away, almost as if his touch burned you; and in a way it could be said to be true; and your violent movement startled the three cats that you had ignored moments before, making them leave for your room.

The image of your beloved; death; boyfriend took Kazutora’s place, brown replaced gold and the beauty mark vanished, the yellow strands that framed his face turned jet black and the smile you’d been missing like crazy; that particularly his that showed his teeth was there.

You blinked a few times and his image left, allowing you to see Kazutora for who he was and not the ghost of him.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know what came to me” he looked at you with tears gathering in his eyes almost pleading and you realized how it must have looked to him.

“No, Tora, I-”

I’m an idiot, I blew this up. Again I’ve just gone and ruined what good I had.

“I’m going now” he stood up and left for the door, leaving you alone and cold on the couch.

I’m sorry Keisuke.

You stood up and went after, finding him in the doorway hastily putting on his shoes but you grasped his arm to stop him.

“I will leave right now, it’ll be like nothing happened” you caught a glimpse of a tear trailing down his cheek and that sight prompted you to speak.

“No” your other hand reached for the fabric of his shirt, securing him.

“Y/N”

“I don’t want you to leave, I-” the words choked you, there was too much you had to say and your mouth wasn’t responding as fast as you would’ve liked.

“Don’t ask me to stay because if you do it’ll only hurt more when you tell me it was a mistake”

“But it wasn’t a mistake, I want you, okay? Kazutora, I like you” you at least managed to say the one thing that was clear in your mind, that had been clear for a long time but only got accepted after that one conversation with Chifuyu.

That certainly stopped him, for he turned around to fully face you and you saw his eyes filled to the brim in tears that he refused to let run freely.

You reached for his face as slowly as the first time you two met, giving him enough space to retreat, but how could he when the thing he wanted most was to be with you and bask in the calm that your presence brought into his messy life? When he didn’t give any signs of pulling away you smiled and cupped his cheeks as if you were holding a piece of glass; and in a way Kazutora was just as fragile as that material when it came to you.

He leaned into your touch, and you were bold enough to pull him in and rest your foreheads together, looking with all seriousness into his eyes, having deja vu of the first day.

“Why? Why? I- what I did to Baji, you know what I’ve done, I don’t”

“I really can’t say, I just do, it’s, it’s hard, okay?” you closed your eyes for a brief second before continuing.

“I swore that there wouldn’t be anyone else and now, now you are here and I like being with you but I know that is way different from how it is with anyone else, it’s something more, something I never thought I’d be able to feel again”

He smiled through his tears because after all he’s done, every mistake in his life said that he didn’t deserve you and yet there you were.

“But I also have to be honest with you” he braced himself for what would be your next words.

“I still love Keisuke, I will probably still be loving him even fifty years from now and that is something that will never change, he was my first friend, first time holding hands, my first love, first kiss, many firsts, he took most of them” you gave out a wobbly smile.

“He’s forever imprinted in my skin and I’ll always be his” he lowered his gaze at that. “But if you can accept that I’m willing to try this, I never dated; not really, not an actual relationship; after him but I wouldn’t mind it being you, I think we deserve a chance”.

His heart was thumping inside his chest making it harder to process everything so you waited while his mind raced. Kazutora looked into your eyes and knew he had to take the chance because you were what he needed and even if he was undeserving you thought him worthy.

A selfish part of him, the bad side said that he should be glad because if Baji was there he knew you would have chosen him, a thousand times you’d have chosen Baji over Kazutora and that pained him but what pained him the most was the fact that a tiny part of him was happy because now he had the chance to be with you.

He was taking the life Baji should’ve had, but he’d take good care of you.

He could live being second best if that meant he got to have you.
